Here I present to you a short list of books I’d like to read this year. I know, we’re already halfway January, but it’s never too late for some resolutions.
I’m spending less time at reading than I’d like to. I’m really busy with school and work and other hobbies of mine so I’ll just put my sights not too high. I hope to have read at least 20 books, by the end of the year.
- Currently I’m reading A Clash of Kings, second book in A Song of Ice and Fire series bij George R.R. Martin. (Edit: finished by March 7th, 2014)
- I suppose I’ll manage to read the third book as well this year: A Storm of Swords. (Edit: finished by May 26th)
- I’ll also want to read Angels and Demons, by Dan Brown (OH! by the way, I heard some big things around Dan Brown since he has been spending a lot of time in Amsterdam, in and around the Rijksmuseum! Rumour has it that the next book may be set right there! In our lovely capital city wow yes I’m excited about that! Can’t wait to hear some more about this..) (Edit: finished by April 10th, 2014)
- The Fault in our Stars, by John Green (before June), it’s already waiting on my bookshelf. This book as well as the next in my list will have their films premiered this year and I hope to read the books first. (Edit: finished by March 8th, 2014)
- Gone Girl, by Gillian Flynn (before October) I’ve held many times in bookstores but never bought it, I’m still hoping our library will add it to their stock.
- I recently bought the pocket book versions of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s original Sherlock Holmes novels and short stories and I hope to have read them all by the end of the year.
- Ascend, by Amanda Hocking. Third book in the Trylle trilogy. (Edit: finished by April 25th, 2014)
- The Keystone, by A.M. Dean, which I got on my bookshelf, though I believe it’s a sequel to The Lost Library, so I ought to read that one first.
- The Safe House, by Nicci French.
- Stephen King’s The Shining, waiting on my bookshelf until I’m brave enough to read it.
- I hope I’ll get to read something by Richard Castle.
- I’ll continue with the Vampire Diaries series, can’t remember how much I had already read of it though.
- About Tolkien & The Great Adventures of Tom Bombadil, waiting on my bookshelf and I can’t wait to read this!
- Some Jane Austen (my mom will have her books lying around somewhere).
- I’d like to try books by Lee Child or Ken Follet. My mother reads their books very often (translated though) and she makes me want to read them as well.
Those are the first 15 out of at least 20. Perhaps I’ll change the list along the way, who knows what other books I’ll want to read as well. Anyway, this is a start. It gives me some great things to look forward to, this year.
Do you have any recommendations for me to read some time, this year? To make my list complete? I’d be glad to listen!
Much love and the best wishes, for all of you. Happy 2014!
