Books, Books, Books

A friend posted a list of 100 books she wants to read in the next year, and I couldn't believe that I hadn't thought to do that. I mean, #12 of my bucket list was "Read every day" so there's no reason I can't meet a similar goal.

My list is a strange combination of classic and contemporary, fantasy and romance,male and female narrators, stand-alones and series. I make no excuses for why I haven't read these yet. Everyone has different tastes in literature so I'm going to try to branch out while still remaining true to myself.
