I did the 1st set, it got me 155 points YAY! This one is a bit more difficult.. coz.. i dnt have MANY books.. and i m not in a mood to buy right now :)
Yeah, I'm trying to stick to titles I own or know are at the library already.
Definitely read Agnes Grey. I highly recommend it. In fact it's my favorite Bronte book, though I still need to read Villette.
Interesting challenge. VC Andrews always creeped me out. I've never read any of her books but Flowers in the Attic just sounded very odd.
