Do you keep a list of the books you’ve read? Books you want to read?
My answer:
I used to when I was still in school. Now, I am goodreads. :) Apart from that, I take pictures (book covers) of books I wish to have. That way, I control my impulse book purchase.

Fell in love with her writing when I started reading Delirium series. If you have not read this, stop wasting time. Pick it up. It will definitely be hard to put down! (Atleast, that’s what happened to me.) I simply love it when stories are enveloped and “blended” with reality. It makes more sense that way. It makes it more real in its own way.
