Five books that I have owned forever but have never gotten around to reading. Those volumes that lurk upon my shelves, squinting down at me with their beady little words, shaming my guilty conscience with my procrastinating ways. #1 – The complete set of Anthony Trollope’s Barsetshire Chronicles I bought this set ages ago because I fell in love with his great-granddaughter’s work, Joanna Trollope.

Yep, she does not require that anyone follow the rules, but I like her ideas enough that I plan on…well, adhering to the idea of ’em! In the week leading up to Halloween, I’m supposed to post something about books daily, beginning October 24th and ending on the 31st. It’ll be fun to see what I come up with…for me at least! Y’all’ll just hafta suffer. Day 1: Ghosts of Books Half-Read Five books I began but never finished. The words that are watching me from the corner of the room, waiting, lingering in the doorway, yearning to be set free. Day 2: Bats in your Book Pages Five things in books that drive me round the bend, the idiotic antics, the issues that are so wacko-nutso that I am knocked senseless.
