Annew (whatsannew) Hi!

So, 25 books in one year, should be doable. Especially when one actually studies literature, however, somehow I did not manage to reach the 25 book goal last year... And that bothered me. So here goes, I'm trying to keep up with my reading and actually record it a bit better this year...

Since I will have three Uni specializing courses, the following books are already on my to-read list:

1. Irish literature concerning Cultural Memory (2/5)
Hurrish: A Study
TransAtlantic
The Last September
Hidden Symptoms
Dancing at Lughnasa

2. Contemporary Dutch and Flemish literature (2/6)
Het vlindereffect
Wie zoet is
De man die haast had
Ivanov
Harnas van Hansaplast
Jij zegt het

3. Realistic prose before and after the movement of the 1880's (0/7)
Eugénie Grandet
Madame Bovary
Germinie Lacerteux
Martha de Bruin
Van de koele meren des doods
Geertje Deel 1
Voor de poort

Other than that, I hope to read some more classics, and some more lively stuff to spice up my bookshelves! Below you find my hopes and dreams: books beyond my education I'd like to read! I put them out of 7 since that's what I'm aiming at; however obviously I hope to ultimately read more than seven books ;)
Here I go...

Spare-time reading: (2/7)
Alleen voor Dames
Kalm aan en rap een beetje
Men Without Women
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child - Parts One and Two
A Hologram for the King

...who knows what will happen...

Thank you Blagica! Thanks to the flu I had much more time on my hands than I anticipated, so at least I got to finish some books this month :) You have a nice month as well; happy reading!
