Making these lists is not an easy task; but it's always a fun one. As I had an excellent first half of the year in reading terms, I decided to draft a list of my favourite reads.

Many great books have been left out, as I chose a more concise style; first I thought to give each one a mini award, but being honest, not all were at the same level as the "That Bitch Took My Soap Award".

The order in this list is random; choosing a single book would be unfair
