The Great Book Challenge of 2010

I adore reading and I tend to go a little overboard when I do read...I get sucked into a book and CANNOT put it down. I don't just read, I devour them...and leave neglected children, husbands, cats and a house in my wake.

This year I'm challenging myself to set in stone the books I want to read, post them here and post reviews! I'm psyched. So many times I find a great book and want to tell everyone about it, then life gets in the way and I forget or just never get around to it. I also will be posting great children's books over on my new homeschooling blog. (SO EXCITED!~We start our "homeschooling" next week--it was going to be this week but I didn't anticipate all the exhaustion and caught up stuff we'd need to do after being gone on a week long vacation!)

At any rate, here is my book list for the year...and I'll be adding plenty to it as life goes along!
