012. [currently reading] 'My Last Duchess' by Daisy Goodwin

The summer is made for reading books and today was a real summer day. I bought myself a few new books from Waterstones and 'My Last Duchess' was one of them. It's a book I have lusted after for a while now, I think it was on one of those book club/must read lists for Christmas? Anyway, I made a note of the title here as one of the books I had to read during my 1001 days.

So far I've made it through a chapter, but with James away and the long Bank Holidays I am pretty sure I'll get through a lot of it quite quickly. I have it on my desk right now to take to bed - I've not read a book in bed for years!

021. [currently reading] The Unofficial Guide to Disneyland Paris

It might seem unusual to count a guide book in my list of books I'm going to read, but the Unofficial Guides are much more than that. I first read an Unofficial Guide for Walt Disney World in 2008 and it's one of few books I've read cover-to-cover in so long. I think the whole series is fantastic and I was over the moon when I knew it existed and just had to have it.

James and I are going to Disneyland Paris at the end of March and now the parks' opening hours have been released I am planning our itinerary! The Unofficial Guide will help me with that planning and teach me all the things I need to know to make our trip the best it can be and so we don't waste any time at all.

021. [currently reading] 'Remember Me?' by Sophie Kinsella

How many books do you own that you've started reading and never finished? If you're like me, then that figure would be high! My book shelf is full of half-read books. Tonight I carried on reading 'Remember Me?' by Sophie Kinsella. This is one of many books I own that I want to finish as part of my 101 in 1001.

I hadn't read this book for well over a year, I bought it at Sanford Airport on my way back from Florida in September 2009. I did really enjoy it and have no idea why I didn't carry on. Tonight I ended up reading more of the book than I did on that flight home!
