So here
is my shelf of books to read starting from January 2012 - as I read and review
them I'll cross them out but it should give you a fair idea of what's to come
:D
A few of
these books are re-reads (and I'll mark which ones) but most are 'dusty' books
that I've promised myself I'll go through and read them all starting this year
:D
Just a
note - some of these are likely to change order, dependent entirely on my mood
at the time of picking a book up. Also one or two may be added as I give in to
temptaion and buy a new book if it's going for a good price ;)
