I found that most of the books on my list are British, which can probably be explained by the fact that I'm fascinated with the British Isles. However, as I work through this list I hope to continue adding more, non-British books. However, since my list is so Britain heavy, I will also be participating in the "Reading England 2016" challenge to help encourage me through this list.
The goal of the Reading England challenge is to read books from a variety of English counties. I'm going to be starting with 10, but I give myself permission to change it.
Now, without further ado, here my list for the next 5 years (until 1/1/2021)
