Nice mix of classic and modern! I see a lot of books I don't know, but I loved The Help and the Stieg Larsson series.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good year with lots of great reads.
Oh, I envy you. I am a certified book lover but I couldn't, wouldn't be able to read these many books in a year. Of the books marked in red, I've only read Gone With The Wind and The Kite Runner. So I am marking the others for future reads. Stumbled upon this blog when I was checking today's Grateful entries. Glad to have popped by xx @Supermac'sThoughtBalloons
