Books I want to read in 2016!

These are the books I really want to read this year - not necessarily in this order, except for Voyage of the Basilisk, which I'll hopefully start by the end of this week as soon as I finish the Grimm's Fairytales, and it doesn't mean that I think I can read all of them. But that would definitely be nice ❤

Also, I find it so frustrating that Goodreads doesn't have a re-read feature, UGH!

A Memoir by Lady Trent by Marie Brennan (#3 & #4)

Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling (#1 to #7) - over the years, I've read these several times in Portuguese, but never in English

The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling

Cormoran Strike by Robert Galbraith (#1 & #2)

Favole #3: Frozen Light by Victoria Francés

Sevenwaters by Juliet Marillier (#1 to #6)

The Stone Dance of the Chameleon by Ricardo Pinto (#1 to #3)

Sunstone #3 by Stjepan Šejić

The New Topping Book by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy

H.P. Lovecraft Collected Stories by Wordsworth Editions & Necronomicon

She Walks In Shadows by several female authors - it's a tribute to Lovecraft while at the same time it rebels by putting strong female characters fighting the horrors Lovecraft showed us.

The Sea of Trolls (#1 to #3) by Nancy Farmer - I read the first volume in Portuguese many years ago, and ever since I never forgot this series and want to know how it ends.

The Unfinished Tales of Númenor and Middle-Earth & The Adventures of Tom Bombadil by J.R.R. Tolkien

Biology as Ideology: The Doctrine of DNA by Richard C. Lewontin

Molly Moon (#1 to #6) by Georgia Byng - just like the Sea of Trolls, I read the first book many years ago and I liked the story so much, although I didn't have the sequels, that now I want to finish the series.

Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein

Avalon (#1 to #7) by Marion Zimmer Bradley and Diana L. Paxson

I'm on a reading spree! + Books I've read in 2015

After spending almost 2 years without reading a single book (between 2012 and 2014), I finally managed to snap out of it and started reading the first volume of The Fionavar Tapestry: The Summer Tree. It worked wonderfully to put an end to that reading slump. Since then, I've been on a reading spree, and I don't remember being this excited about reading since I read Harry Potter - and that's saying a lot. So I thought I'd share some of that and inspire you to start reading again/more/keep reading. Because books exist to be loved ♥
