50 books in a year - DONE!

After 2 years of trying to do this I've finally done it! In the first attempt I think I only got to about 30 so I'm really chuffed I finally got there this year. I averaged about 1 book a week, which sounds easy enough, but to do it consistently for 50 odd weeks is quite hard especially when you go on holiday and have exams to revise for and moving house. So I'm really proud of myself :). And here's the final list, I love lists :). My favourites are in blue and I highly recommend them :)

  2. The Fellowship of the Ring
