This is a list of the books I have read since records began.
I shamelessly stole this idea from Eva Harmoni . You may think that it is boring to read a list of books but you might get some ideas, try the book and be pleasantly surprised.
Or, you may be the type of person I am, who loves reading lists and even reads the Phone Book when there is nothing better to hand…

That’s a lot of great reading! Back around 07-11, I was reading much, much more than I am now. I’d love to get back up there. These days, the kids are busier and keep me tired! Maybe some day. Good job.

I don’t read as much now since I started the blog! I think blogging and reading are inversely related!

It’s easier if you watch the TV serial and then read the chapters straight after!!
