111 Book lovers Bucket list – simply must-read books!!

Whoever know me, knows this one thing about me. I LOVE BOOKS!!!! The older the better. My house is always full of books, and there is always more on the way… for me, a trip to the bookstore, yes, I do it the old-fashioned way, is a holiday. I be gone, for few hours, strolling between the shelves, full of the precious things, feeling like a kid in a candy store. So, naturally the idea came to me, to do this book list, it was extremely easy. More than half of the positions on the list, are standing on my bookshelves, right now. Other ones are dear to my heart, for so many different reasons. Only the book, can transport you to completely different time and space, and lets you live a different life, every time you open new book. There is nothing more wonderful than that. And you ant to know a small secret?  The first ten books on the list, are my absolutely, all time favorites!!

No matter if you read on the tablet, or listen to the book as audio, or read the old-fashioned way, like me, just read. Never stop.
