LibraryThing's Top Unread Books











I might be one of the last ones to this party, but this meme has been going around the LibraryThing blogging community for a while, so I thought I'd join in, too!

These are the top 106 books most often marked "unread" (or the equivalent) by LibraryThing's users. The rules are as follows: BOLD the books you have read, italicize the books you started but did not finish (DNF), *STAR* the books you've read more than once, underline books that are on your TBR pile, and cross out books that you hated.

Here's mine:

    Oh no, you hated The Historian? I've got it in my TBR stack but only because it was remaindered at $2.99 for a new hardback.

    I loved your Georgette Heyer guest post! She's one of my favorite authors.
