    1. Haha, okay. I always forget to update my Goodreads. That’s why I don’t have it as a widget on here, it’s horrible unrepresentative of what I’ve read..

      But I’m also pretty sure I forgot about loads of books on this list as well!

      Looking forward to seeing yours though!

  1. My, you have a lot of books to read! I’m almost as bad though, so I can’t judge. These are the to-read books we have in common: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Persuasion, Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, Northanger Abbey, Little Women, Wuthering Heights, Peter Pan, David Copperfield, Great Expectations, Paper Towns, Lord of the Flies, Catch-22, Les Mis, The Scarlet Letter, everything by Stephen King, The Phantom of the Opera, Night Circus, Rebecca, Gone with the Wind, Lolita, The Time Traveler’s Wife, everything by Jodi Picoult except My Sister’s Keeper, The Bell Jar, everything by Anne Rice, everything by John Steinbeck, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, War and Peace, Anna Karenina, and The Picture of Dorian Grey.
