Friday Finds #30

Friday Finds is a blog meme hosted over at Should Be Reading that highlights the books you found and added to your To Be Read list, whether you found them online or in a bookstore and etc. They are not necessarily books that you purchased!

I recently discovered the '1001 Books to Read Before You Grow Up' list and have been adding lots of them to my 'to-read' list on Goodreads. I've also got a stack of about 30 of the ones that I already one added to my TBR pile for the year. Here are a few that I don't own that I will need to keep my eyes open for!

Madame Doubtfire by Anne Fine
The Mouse and the Motorcycle by Beverly Cleary
The Red Pony by John Steinbeck
