My reading goal this year is to read books I've always wanted to. At the moment that is Catcher In The Rye  I haven't written a list yet but my GoodReads to-read is long. So it'll be a much shorter one or not a list at all. |

Read that - meh. (An age thing me thinks, I read it too late in life) Totally agree, I thought ‘meh’ too, but with me I think I read it too early rather than too late...I was 11! |
