This assignment has been going around on Facebook for a while now. I thought it would be good to put up here as well in case I wanted to go back to it. Because Facebook has no search option haha.

5 Books on My Reading List

The-Casual-Vacancy

To ‘Casual Vacancy’, the right time will come for you and I.

The holy week holiday is usually the perfect time for me to catch up on my reading. Alas, this year I have other less fun (but more important) things on my to-do list. The most I can do is look at my growing unread pile and lovingly dust off the covers. Here is my short list, just so I don’t forget:

1. Great Gatsby by Scott Fitzgerald

2. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

3. Casual Vacancy by JK Rowling (the Mexican standoff persists)

4. Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden

5. I am Number Four: The Lost Files by Pittacus Lore

Dear titles, I hope to be with you by June-July. Until then.
