The 50 Book Challenge (2012) - Page 16

miss_catherine · 29-02-2012

Last year I started this part way through and then got lazy and forgot to update. So, sadly, I have no idea how many books I read. My memory is pretty good regarding the stuff I've read (or re-read) so far this year though, although not the order they were read in. Also, I didn't omit the second Harry Potter book, I only read number one and three this time. Anyway...

01. Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone by JK Rowling
02. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by JK Rowling
03. Rebecca by Daphne de Maurier
04. Bossypants by Tina Fey
05. North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
06. Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol
07. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
08. The Evolution of Bruno Littlemore by Benjamin Hale
09. The Princess Bride by William Goldman

Currently reading 10. Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell AND 11. The Inferno by Dante Alighieri.

I have a feeling there were one or two more in there but, oh well. Also, didn't count graphic novels or things like McSweeney's.

Definitely feeling inspired by some other people's lists in regard to what to read next!

Niusity · 29-02-2012

1. The Magus by John Fowles
2. Atonement by Ian McEwan
3. Ciuleandra by Liviu Rebreanu
