The Big Read, 2007
Year Two of the Booklist; though I haven't made an enormous amount of progress according to the 1001 books, I have passed my personal target of 100 this year!! Underlined are books that I had read before, italics are those I didn't get to finish.

Finally living in a country with a royal family
I don't actually know why that's important. Especially since they run to old and wrinkly sons. But I feel like a Trincess should keep her options open ( Read more... )
