A thousand lives is better than one

I've neglected this blog for what feels like an extremely long time and fallen into my usual habit of putting-things-off-to-do-them-later-but-never-doing-them-until-eventually-it's-too-late-to-do-them, or otherwise known as 'procrastination'
It's horrible. I remember when I used to get things done. *nostalgic sigh* now those were the days.

I've been thinking about what I've done all summer and I've come to the conclusion that I've done.... nothing. Absolutely nothing. I've been on holiday, I've come back home and I've sat in my bed and read books and watched TV shows.

At least I'm finally reading again, so I've decided that instead of thinking of something fascinating to write I'm just going to list the books I've read/plan to read in the "summer" (notice the use of the sarcastic speech marks since I live in England and we don't really get a summer.... currently I'm huddled in a duvet)

1) Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring by JRR Tolkien (must read book)
2) Deception Point by Dan Brown (really really good book... he really is as good as the hype suggests)
3) Sherlock Holmes series by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this book. My obsession with Sherlock grows)
4) The Declaration series by Gemma Malley (great modern fiction which was a nice change from my heavy reading classics)
5)The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins (I'm going to be honest here. It doesn't live up to the hype. It's brilliant! But not as good as the hype suggests it should be)
6) One Day by David Nicholls (courtesy of Jenny and it really is a brilliant book. We all need a good romance once in a while)
7) Tess of the D'urbevilles by Thomas Hardy (I'd read this before but now that I'm older I understood the storyline a lot better and it is definitely a good book, and I personally think a very important book to read. The only issue I have with it that even though it was written such a long time ago, the issues are still relevant when they should have been in our past by now)
8) Hard Times by Charles Dickens (Next on my list to read, and I'm not quite sure what to expect. I look forward to it though)
9) Harry Potter series by JK Rowling (It's just not a summer till I re-read these books)

I hope you found that interesting, although probably not. One thing I do suggest is go read all the books I've listed. Reading is fun and enjoyable and I think that everyone should have a list of books to read.
