My Book List

I have seen a few other people do this on their blogs and I thought it was a good idea. If I post my list of to read/have read books here then I will always know where to look. If I just try to keep track of my scrap of paper. . . .it will be lost in a day or two.

I'm hoping that by keeping this list I will be able to also write in future posts about some of these books as I read them.
