Amanda Snow's List

Most of the lists that are up are pretty ambitious! Mine? I took a veeeerrry casual approach. These are literally all books that I really want to read, and think I actually WILL read. I could list every classic there is...as I think it would be great for me to read all those, but I know I never will. My list also has a lot of books that will be good knowledge for my career, that I feel I should have a knowledge base for when recommending books to kids and parents. There is a bunch of non-fiction that I want to get to, as well as some adult titles that have been recommended over and over and I've never picked up. A couple are the end of a series that I just haven't gotten to and one is a re-read that I know will never be picked up if I don't commit somewhere.

I blogged it all here.
