yay!! glad you joined! im excited!!!

Yeah, me too! ☺

Looks like a solid list! I'm glad to have you with us also. :) We've got some overlap so I look forward to discussing.

Welcome :)
We're glad you joined too :p

The Princess Diaries is in my 2016 TBR so I'll join the discussion.
I'm pleased to see The Colour of Magic, there are few Pratchett's books in the plans for the moment (I've the 2 last ones to read). Not his best work but I like Rincewind (perfect anti-hero) and the luggage :)
I enjoyed The Perfume (read after the movie) and Wool is really interesting (a bit slow but the world building in the series is great).
I'm looking forward to your opinion on American Gods, I've to tackle some books by Gaiman next year, I think I'll read The Ocean and re-read Neverwhere, so this one will be for later, but an opinion is always welcome.

I missed the princess diaries on her list! I am on book 4 right now--have it waiting at home! And then have the rest of the books and in between books ready to read. Cute and easy reads!

Hi! I forgot to mention: I own all these books. I'm trying to save money next year for a trip, I don't have so much money to spend on books. Lucky I have a few.

Just another thing: some of these I've read before or started. Most of them I haven't read

Oops! Some of these are in Swedish and Finnish, my two native tongues... I can't post a thread about them, I don't want to read them in English... But almost all of the books are in English

Great someone else is reading Swedish books. I lived in Sweden for a year and I try to keep my Swedish skills by reading books in Swedish. I'm currently rereading my Swedish Harry Potter books :)

I have to change some of these... Sorry!

Hi! Update: I'm going to start off with number 5...
