Breaking it down:
Owned: 83
Read: 58
Owned, but have not yet read: 39


My addition my be horribly off here, but there's a general idea.


I honestly wish I could have "bolded" more things up there! I do have lots of italics, so hopefully I will be getting to read some more of these. I also noticed that I have a lot of incomplete series. Wow, I haven't reviewed some of my favorite books either! I'll need to write a love letter review for the Harry Potter series. I can't believe I haven't talked about PLL, The Morganville Vampires, Unwind, The Book Thief, Thirteen Reasons Why, and The Maze Runner Series. I LOVE THESE BOOKS. Bad, Kaitlyn, bad. 


Link me to your lists if you've made them or let me know which of these are your favs! I'm obsessed with lists. If you would also like to suggest which of the ones I own, but have not yet read I should read soon, that would be awesome!
