  1. You've read loads! I've been trying to get back in to reading.... my favourites this year has to be The Sugar Girls & The Secret Keeper. Not sure they'll be your cup of tea but I really enjoyed them :) x

  2. I managed a big fat zero on the reading front last year, the problem when you have a little person to look after but have accumulated many many books that sit unread on my shelves and stored in my kindle. A have resolved to read as much as I can this year and have done a list on my blog. A couple on your list here I have, unread.

  3. I keep meaning to read Enigma and Fatherland, because I really loved Archangel.

    My favourite two books I read in 2012 were The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey and Snowdrops by A.D. Miller. I also really liked The Fault in Our Stars!

    How about 'Thinks...' by David Lodge? Clever and fun, like Stephen Hawking in a ball pool.
