Sorry, I'm Reading....

I went through our bookshelves and listed off all the books that we have that I haven't read yet. It's very ridiculous how many books we own. It's even worse that I haven't read so many of them! So here's my list for this year. I can say in advance that I won't accomplish it in its entirety as there are more books than there are weeks and I do NOT have a goal of reading one per week. If I get forty read, I will be happy. I have other things that I need to focus on this coming year more than books read.

Anyways here's the list in no particular order except for where they may have been grouped on a shelf...

By the way, there's sixty eight of them. I have at least half of 2013's list in there too because these are only the books on our shelves. This does not include visits to the library. Obviously there will be NO BUYING books this year -- even if I'm purchasing them second hand for inexpensive.

What's on your reading list the year? I would love to know as I'm always adding to my must read list!
