Books to Read in 2009
Seeing as I hardly finished half a dozen books last year, this list is so that I can hold myself accountable to actually read more books than I buy!
In no particular order, here are the books I plan to read this year. Italicized titles have been read. Bold titles are currently being read. Books I don’t have yet are in red (they’re on my Amazon wish list, hint hint).
