Dymocks 2015 Top 101 Books List {Reading Writes Chapter Six} | Reading
It's always interesting to see the books that make the list. There are always the old favourites, like the Harry Potter series, classics such as To Kill a Mockingbird and Pride and Prejudice, and of course a smattering of fairly new releases, the ones that have stuck in people's minds. Not to mention the books that have recently been made in to movies or TV shows.
I'm pleased to say that there are a number of new books on the list, quite a few of which I haven't read. I've read 24 of the books on 2015's list and there are many that I am keen to add to my To Be Read list. At the moment I'm working my way through Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series, which sits at number 20 on the list, as well as watching the TV adaptation of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall, which made it on to the list at number 84 this year.
The latest list is quite varied, and I'm keen to get in to my local store soon to take advantage of their current 3 for the price of 2 offer on the Top 101 list. It was this offer that saw me buy the first Outlander book last year, and I'm so glad I did. The offer runs until June 1st so you have plenty of time to grab a few for yourself. Again, this post is in no way sponsored or endorsed by Dymocks, I just thought you'd like to know where to grab yourself a bargain.
