Spring Reading Thing 2009

As I type this post, I’m sitting in our family room, pretending not to hear my 3-year-old’s requests to “Go OUTside!” Why? Because it is H.O.T. And personally, I’d prefer to enjoy the air conditioning just a little while longer.

Okay, I decided to just make a big (for me) list of books to read this spring, knowing full well that I probably won’t get through all of them. I’d like to read them all, but realistically, I just don’t think it’s going to happen. So my personal challenge to myself is to complete as [...]
