Book List 2012

There are a number of books on my list for 2012 I would like to read.  To my surprise I was able to find over half of them at the local libraries.

I know this is a long and ambitious list that I may not be able to finish this year, but I hope to read each of them at some point.  You will notice, as I have entered into motherhood this last year, many of the books are on motherhood!
