*The ones with an asterisk next to their names are the ones that have been recommended to me by someone
() The ones in single brackets I have to find either in a bookstore or a library 1
(()) The ones in doubles brackets I own, I just have to find them (or get them from the library if I can't find them)2
# The ones with Number signs next to them are also on my Banned Books Week list so as I review for that they will be crossed of the list

As I mentioned this list will be comprehensively updated with everything that I intend to review. Keep reading, writing and for heaven's sake recommend a book, I don't bite I promise :)

1 Apparently I can do footnote-y type things...I will delete the brackets once I have either bought or rented this book
2 I will  underline these titles once I find my copy (or get one from the library)
