Classic's

Although I read a lot I don't consider my self very well read. I would like to put a stop to that feeling by reading more classics and adult fiction to get a way from my almost just young adult reading pallet. In particular I have hardly read any classics so I would like to put amends to that. Over the next year I would like to read a bunch more classics, don't really have a specific number but I do have a list I will pick and chose from though out the year.

• Girl Interrupted - Susanna Kaysen
• The Virgin Suicides - Jeffrey Eugenides
• Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov
• Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
• Emma - Jane Austen
• Sense and Sensibility - Jane Austen
• 1984 - George Orwell
• Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
• To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
• The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
• Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
• The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger
• The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde
• Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
• Dracula - Bram Stoker
• Les Miserables - Victor Hugo

Hopefully I will get to at least half of these within the next year.

Series Overload..

After taking a look at all of the series I am currently reading I have realized I have a problem. I am currently reading a total of 17 series most of which I have only read one or two books from. How I let this list get so big I don't know but here is a list of all of them. Some I am close to finishing others not so much.

• Amulet - Kazu Kibuishi 5/6
• Linked - Imogen Howson 1/2
• Percy Jackson - Rick Riordan 3/5
• Grisha Trilogy - Liegh Bardugo 4/6
• Chaos Walking - Patrick Ness 1/6
• Steelheart - Brandon Sanderson 1/2 +2 to be realeased
• The Assassin's Curse - Cassandra Rose Clark 2/5
• The Heir Chronicles - Cinda Williams Chima 1/5
• Legend - Marie Lu 1/4
• Leviathan - Scott Westerfeld 1/3
• Crank - Ellen Hopkins 2/3
• Avalon - Mindee Arnett 1/2 +1 to be realeased
• The Giver - Lowis Lowry 1/4
• Sweet Trilogy - Wendy Higgins 1/3
• Shatter Me - Tahareh Mafi 1/5
• Throne of Glass - Sarah J. Maas 1/9
• Lux - Jennifer L. Armentrout 1/6

Favorites of the list so far would have to be The Assassin's Curse, Grisha Trilogy, The Giver and Throne of Glass. So I would recommend those to anyone who hasn't picked them up yet.

But in all seriousness I need to get this list under control.
