What's on the 2012 shelf!

So many books, only so many hours to read! But I went ahead and made a list of the books I would really like to read this year, a lot of children's, some new, some a little older, and a few nonfiction.  Right now I'm in the midst of one of my non-fiction picks In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan, which is fascinating. Seriously changing the way I think about food and eating and I think it should be required reading in all high school health classes. But I digress. Here's a lists of what I'm looking forward to reading in 2012. Tell me what's on your reading list!

  1. I'm thinking I might just steal your list and read them. You know how to pick a good book! I've never even heard of some of them, but they look great.

  2. You and I have a lot of the same books on our lists. I'm reading The Scorpio Races right now. It started a little slow for me, but I know Maggie Stiefvater is just about as gifted as they come.
