Books I Will Read in 2011

Hello,

And HAPPY NEW YEAR LOVELIES! yaaay. I hope that you all had a fun New Year's Eve. I know that I did. And I hope that your 2011 is filled with love and friendship and productivity and general awesomeness.

Also, if anybody reading this follows me on Twitter I want to apologize for all the blabbering the other night/morning. I understand that nobody wants to hear me talk about my hair, but I was bored and lonely.

So one of my New Years' resolutions was to read more books (or a target within a resolution), and like I said, I made a list of things I'm going to read in 2011. I can use my blog to keep it organised, go back to this post and cross off when I'm done. it's a secret, but I like lists quite a lot. There aren't many other ways in which I'm organised. So, in no particular order.

2. "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy

Yay. I tried to go for a mixture of classics I haven't read yet and should have, and newer books which look exciting and FLW recommended. I know that nobody comments on my blog, but if you have a book I should read please say so, k? ;) I'm wondering if I have open space left for five or ten more, depending on how much time I have.
Okay. That's all for today.
