So you've must notice that I have more then thirty books on my list. I have back up plans in case I can't get some of the books. If you have a book you think I would love to read let me know. The bold books have a ton of holds on them with the library (if you have them or any of the books I'd love to borrow them), So there is a good chance they won't be available in my time frame. The books with *'s are ones I have ready to go.
Part of me see's this list as over whelming but the other half is excited to try and do this. (No teasing that I'm just now starting to read Harry Potter!) So here we go!
