Neverending Reading List
So during the school year I barely ever have time to read. Instead I collect books in my mind that I MUST read over the summer. I always keep a list going, because well, having it in writing makes me feel more accomplished and helps me to go faster. I will update this entry as I go with my finished/unfinished lists. This year I have been continuing my list whenever I have time to actually read for pleasure (mostly on school holidays). I'm always looking for a new thick book to curl up with in front of the fire, so recommendations are more than welcome.
