Summer Reading

I've read 1258 pages in the past two weeks. 1258 pages in three books, many many hours. Of those 1258 pages, I'd say I enjoyed 1030 of them because The Other Boleyn Girl was about 200 pages too long (I did enjoy the whole story though) and I disliked the ending of Two Way Street (which is not on my list as you will see below).

Back on World Book Day, I uploaded the book I was reading at the time and I also typed out the list of books that I planned on reading before I went to the bookstore and bought more.

I thought that it was only fair to give the 20 or so books on my bookshelf that I had yet to read a chance before buying more books. I've made a small dent in that list since then.

When summer comes, I always reread the Harry Potter series, so that is now thrown in with my list. My grandma also just visited and gave me a bag of about 7 more books, so those have to be added to the list as well (Elissa, if you're reading this, one of those was Water for Elephants!!).

Here's the list again, in case any of you were curious: =]]

So, if you're still reading..
I've got myself quite a book list this summer, but I do plan to read most--if not all--of these books. It's a good thing I have time to read on the train three days a week. =]
