But currently experiencing a lack of available time. That said, I'm working on that end of year report on which books I loved most, favourite re-reads and new authors.
I thought I would make a post listing all the books I have read in 2012, (Under the Read More), later lists will be all the Non Fiction, Graphic Novels and Poetry books I have read in 2012. Also I have put the books I would particularly recommend in bold, (although I have read a lot of good books this year) I have also added an asterisk if I had to read the book for my university course.
Obviously feel free to message me about any of the books I have read , maybe you have read a few too and want to have a chat about them.
Also if you want to keep up with what I'm reading in 2012 you can follow or friend me on goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/susanandherbooks :)
