My original goal for this year was 20 books, with half of them to be at a minimum of 500 pages, but since I read so much last year, I think I’ll be able to manage 50 this year too, even if I maintain that at least 10 of them have to be more than 500 pages (those will be marked with +500).

EDIT: Now with links to my goodreads reviews, if that’s of interest.

So, here we go:

1. A Game of Thrones - George R.R. Martin (+500)
2. A Clash of Kings - George R.R. Martin (+500)
3. Daughter of Smoke and Bone - Laini Taylor
4. Red Seas Under Red Skies - Scott Lynch (+500)
5. The Hobbit - J. R. R. Tolkien
6. The Master and Margarita - Mikhail Bulgakov (everyone should read this)
7. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy - John Le Carré
8. Bridget Jones’s Diary - Helen Fielding
9. Much Ado About Nothing - William Shakespeare
