It is time that I come clean about something. *clears throat*
“Hello. My name is Emily and I am a bibliophile.”
Whew! That feels better. đ I have long been an avid reader and there are few things, aside from my family, that make me as happy as reading a great book. (Or reading any book, really.) It is almost embarrassing and definitely horrifying (to me anyway) how much money I drop each year on books. Especially now that I have graduated and am not reading text books on a regular basis.
To help curb this spending habit, I have put together a list of 24 books to read over the next 12 months. Will this be everything I read? Certainly not. I have a few series that are included (and several more that are not ) as well as the ones we will read as a family. The items with a “*” are books that will become movies in 2015. I am adamant about always reading the book before seeing the movie and my husband likes to see Every. Movie. Ever. Thus, the abundance of these titles within my list. I hope you find something here that you might enjoy!
