Book Bucket List

My final New Year-type post, I promise! I’m very much a mood reader, and therefore I’ve always been bad at sticking to the TBRs that I set myself (which is why you only ever see them on my blog for very short-term events like readathons and holidays), but with a whole year ahead of me, I think I can be fairly sure that I’ll be in the mood for lots of different types of book at one point or another.

These are the books that I most want to have read by the end of the year; books that, whenever I see them on my shelves, make me think, Why haven’t I read you yet? You’ve probably seen quite a few of them mentioned (repeatedly) on those aforementioned short-term TBRs, since I keep meaning to read them. In fact, almost all these books are ones that I meant to read pretty promptly after buying them, until life, or other books, or reading slumps video games distracted me, leaving them by the wayside… 😥

So, in no particular order, I present my 2016 book bucket list!
