The Facebook 15 book meme.

Spread the love

Because some of you are not my facebook friends ….

Here are the instructions….

Don’t take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you’ve read that will always stick with you.
First 15 you can recall in no more than 15 minutes.
Copy the instructions into your own note, and be sure to tag the person who tagged you.
If you can’t read, just list the picture books you looked at.
