The 56 Unread Books
Back in January I went through our bookshelves and discovered that there were 48 books that I hadn't read (plus some books that belonged to Miles that I wasn't interested in reading). I then got some more books for my birthday, bring the total up to 53. Back in June, this went up to 56 books as I got an Amazon voucher from some friends (slightly late due to email problems), and bought two books, then got my final birthday present from my husband (as he'd ordered a book that wasn't released in paperback until the start of June).
So, the final list of unread books is:
