New Year New Books

2016 Reading List

 

With the new year comes a new reading list.  Since I have a tendency to stick to the older classics I made an effort to read more contemporary works last year and this year I intend to continue that.  In addition, I’m adding more self-love, self-discovery, and travel texts to my reading list.

  1. Bard by Morgan Llywelyn
  2. The Color Purple by Alice Walker
  3. Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
  4. Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
  5. Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
  6. Animal House by George Orwell
  7. Galapagos by Kurt Vonnegut
  8. Oil! by Upton Sinclair
  9. On the Road by Jack Kerouac
  10. All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
  11. Walden by Henry David Thoreau
  12. Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling
  13. Pride of Lions by Morgan Llywelyn
  14. Tess of the d’Ubervilles by Thomas Hardy
  15. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
  16. My Salinger Year by Joanna Rakoff
  17. Out of Africa by Isak Dinesen
  18. The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin
  19. Turn Right at Machu Picchu by Mark Adams

    Some of these look like really good reads! And I’ve never heard of most of them, so that’s a plus! I’ve been wanting to read All the Light We Cannot See.

        I was recommended this website by my cousin. I’m not sure whether this post is written by him as nobody else know such detailed about my trouble. You’re amazing! Thanks!

      I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Excellent work!

    Nice list Tara! My Salinger Year sounds interesting. Must admit I only really read the “Eat” part of Eat, Pray, Love… the rest was a bit much for me. But that is the joy of reading… we all have our favourites!

    That’s a great list, thanks for the inspiration! “The Color Purple” is on my 2016 reading list as well, as well as “All The Light We Cannot See”. I really liked “Madame Bovary” (it’s a must!) and “Eat, Pray, Love”, hope you enjoy them too! Best wishes from Brussels today!

      Great blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely confused .. Any suggestions? Kudos!

    At this time it sounds like BlogEngine is the best blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?

    You could definitely see your enthusiasm in the work you write. The world hopes for even more passionate writers like you who aren’t afraid to say how they believe. Always go after your heart.
