Books Read This Year

     Similar to my previous post, I am also keeping track of what books I read, dating from June 16th of this year. 
     As the reader might have guessed from my first post, I'm terribly fond of The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy.  I read it for the first time last spring.  Upon reading it, it became my new favourite, and therefore I was naturally quite chuffed to learn that there exists 10 sequels.  My mum (who's a fan as well) and I have gotten through the first six books, and we're soon to begin the 7th one.
     In general, I read very little from this country, and even less from this century.  I started reading 19th century English literature in high school, and I've since preferred it over any other genre.
     I also enjoy Japanese manga.  I don't read it nearly as much as I used to, but I still quite enjoy it from time to time.
