In which Diana makes a confession for May Day

I'm really bad at finishing books. I love to read, but I have a lot of books and a short attention span. And when I see a book at a garage sale or used book store or library sale or on Amazon, I just have to buy it. Also, people know I love to read and give me books as gifts. Also also, I borrow a lot of books from people like Anna and my dad, who aren't particularly concerned with getting said books back at any specific time (although I promise that I know all of those books are not gifts and I will return them!)

I also really like In Your Pants jokes as invented by John Green and Maureen Johnson and made amazing by John and Hank Green. In Your Pants jokes are easy to make and never ever get old. All you have to do is add in your pants to the end of the book title. Hilarity nearly always ensues.

So bearing these two confesions in mind, I have decided to make a list. This is a list of books I must complete before going to college (in exactly 3 months and 30 days) or at the very least, until I buy more books, in order of how funny they are when "In Your Pants" is added to the title. I promise, "in your pants" is the only way to find reading a book list enjoyable.

Books I must read/finish before going to Gonzaga (or at least before buying any more!)
