My 'To Read' Booklist (WIP)
Since starting Yr 11, I said to myself that all I would do after highschool (aside from university and getting a job) was 'eating, sleeping, playing video games, and reading'. During my week away with my friends, I started my 'to read' booklist, which I wrote up with help from two of my friends, one of which I had to send a copy of it to lol.
Some of them are perhaps a bit... ambitious (and when I say bit, I mean I'll have to read it with a dictionary and coffee). I'll get there. Someday. I'm starting fresh, so some of these I'm rereading. I'll put it alphabetically later, this is just the order I jotted it down in. Suggestions?
Strike-through is read. Bold is currently Reading. Underline is read a part of/rereading. * means I own a copy.
