I found this meme over at turtlebella‘s while I was gone on vacation, and I saved it to do when I got back. It was too much fun to pass up. I did change one from “I want to marry” to “I have a crush on” since I’m already married, and I don’t believe in polyandry, even with fictional characters. 🙂 Feel free to take this one and pass it on.

Legend:

I’ve read it
I want to read it
I’ve seen the movie*
I have it on DVD
I have a crush on the leading man/lady!
Holy smokes, I didn’t know this was a book!
