48. Princess in Pink (The Princess Diaries, #5) by Meg Cabot - way too much unnecessary drama, I liked the first 4 books better.
48. House Of Flowers by Truman Capote - I don't even know if that counts as a book as it was like 30 pages long. But I want this list to be the same as my goodreads list so here it is. Capote is one of my most favourite authors, this was another of his great short stories.

Currently reading:
Friday Brown by Vikki Wakefield - so dark and mysterious. I've been reading this one for like 2 months and I'm only 100 pages in. I really want to finish but I just can't find some time to just sit and read it.
My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick - so nice and cute and summery. Exactely what I needed in the middle of november. I just hope I'll be able to finish it.
