The Emerald Dove: What I Hope to Read in 2014

As you may have guessed I am the kinda person who would have an extensive TBR list which would actually take a few lifetimes to complete but this month I am trying to read more - I did initially attempt a book a week but I really don't have that much spare time. I have got through two books this year so far - Emma by Jane Austen and Animal Farm by George Orwell - which I have put on my 'empty shelf' so I hope to fill that up within the year.

Contemporary

Her Grace In Disgrace -Claudia Harbaugh

Never Let Me Go - Kazuo Ishiguro

The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini

Heart of Darkness - Joseph Conrad

The Catcher in the Rye - J. Salinger

The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood

Classics

Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte

Persuasion - Jane Austen

Sense and Sensibility - Jane Austen

To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee

Vanity Fair - William Makepeace Thackeray

Frankenstein - Mary Shelley

Cranford - Elizabeth Gaskell

Ulysses - James Joyce

Middlemarch - George Elliot

I hope you enjoyed this post and I would love to hear any recommendations or the books you have been enjoying recently.

Seriously read the kite runner! I wrote my Extended essay on it and I still love to read it, and all of Khaled Hosseini's other books.

I'm just about to look up some books i saw recommended at the back of a book i've just finished. one i would recommend is The Secret Keeper - Kate Morton. Might not be what you like to read but i enjoyed it thoroughly and i didn't think i would!
