The Year of Books

Updated 10 - 23 - 14 (don't know that I'll finish)

I will admit that I stole this idea from my friend, whose list you can read here (of course, her list has only 17 books on it so far).

Not only do I have WAY more books than I can EVER read (not that there's anything wrong with that), I continue buying books at a faster pace than I  read.  This year I'd like to be able to get at least 52 65 books under my belt and here's the beginning of my list.  It's a mixture of Fiction and Non-Fiction and I will add to it as the year goes by.  I need to get several finished that I'm working on so that I can stay on track.  As I finish I will update the blog and cross them out.

Here they are, in no particular order.  The ones crossed out in red are those that I did not complete, nor do I intend to.  I you are interested in the reason why, please reach out and I would be glad to share that with you. 

Also -- I didn't give links to any online retailer as I believe you should support your local bookstores.
