For 2015 I hope to change that. I have a rather large pile of books, both actual books and e-books that I want to get through. I have therefore selected fifteen that are going to be my MUST reads for the year. That will hopefully get the reading juices following again.
Here they are listed in no particular order - books marked with * are already started.
- Vintage by Susan Goss
- How to Knit a Tangled Mess by Rachel Cole
- The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
- Return to Mandalay by Rosanna Ley
- Sleeping the Churchyard Sleep by Rett MacPherson *
- Between the Cracks by Carmela Cattuti *
- Disraeli Avenue by Caroline Smailes
- The Leaving of Things by Jay Amtahi
- The Irresistable Blueberry Bakeshop & Cafe by Mary Simses
- 30 Days in Sydney by Peter Carey
- 13th Gift by Joanne Smith
- The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George
- The Dress shop of Dreams by Menna Van Praag

That's exactly what I want to do this year. But I'm focusing on just three so far. I would like to compile a very good bucket list, too.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks has been on my TBR list way too long. I keep hoping my book group will pick it, but I haven't convinced them yet.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great list!

My wife wants to read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks too and I've heard it's good.
ReplyDeleteOut of the covers, even though I don't know what it's about, The Bookshop Book looks intriguing.
I started with a list of 12 this year. So far, I've gotten to two of them and now am on my third or will be by tonight or tomorrow anyway: The Martian by Andy Weir.
I had the book on a lengthy list of books to read. I then read this review - http://theindepthgenealogist.com/book-review-immortal-life-henrietta-lacks/ and it nudged it's way up the pile!
DeleteThis looks like an interesting list. I'm also an avid reader and am thankful to Goodreads for keeping me motivated and (mostly) on track! I hope you enjoy these books.
