My Book List~ 2009

So often I find or hear about books worth reading and make a mental note of them, only to forget about them when it counts! Enough already! I've learned from my mistakes~and so, I've decided to write all the books I discover and hope to read this year in ONE particular spot. I'll post a link to this blog in my sidebar, for easy access.

And while I'm at it, I'll record what books I have read. Since I've never done anything like this before, I wonder how many books I'll get through by years end?

PS. Obviously this will not include the hundreds of childrens' books I go through a month... :-)
