Reading List

The two words of my title used to scare me because they meant two things:

1. I would soon be spending a lot of money (English students have to buy waaay too many books, and lord help you if you don't have the right (aka expensive) version)
2. Reality check - you are about to read a lot of books you have never heard of/ heard of and are afriad of/ you don't want to read/ you will fall in love with (happened once or twice)

So I'm here to shake things up a bit. Soon, I am going to post a list of all the books on my bookshelf, not matter how embarrassing. Sadly I don't have as many books as I used to as before I made money I went to a place called Recycled Reading and traded them in for store credit. That being said, stores like that are everywhere and can be hidden gems. I have managed to find a lot of great books at recycled reading stores all over the place, and for very reasonable prices.

By no means will my list be extensive, or possibly even interesting to everyone, but I for one love when people give me a list of books they love - so I feel like returning the favour. And now that we will soon have the time to read, its a great way to start your summer reading list :).
