This is the beginning of my reading list for next year, cheap because I have all of the books listed so I don't need to buy any more for a few weeks, but then when did the fact that I don't need to, ever stop me? (There are a couple that aren't in print yet but that won't stop me either :p)

hi jacquie
ReplyDeletea very interesting list. are you actually going to read them or do you just like making lists?
The only one I've read is the Dumas and that was as a kid, in an abridged form.
Dickens I never got on with
Out of respect to Antonia Frazer and Harold I'm now going to have a Pinteresque moment or three
I am going to read them and review them, as this is supposed to be a book review site [pause] [laughter], but I like making lists too.
ReplyDeleteIn my experience most women do
