Twenty Five Books in Fifty Two Weeks

I recieved a birthday greeting that really got me to thinking.  The greeting was:

Happy Birthday, Teri! Hope the year ahead is filled with great books and a couple of stamps in your passport!

I have so many books I need to read... SO many.  I decided since I said I'm going to turn away from the electronics and towards reading more, it would be a good idea to pull out 25 books (a book every 2 weeks on average) to read over the next year.  I'm going to keep them on one shelf and when I get done, turn them around backwards on the shelf.

So here is my reading list!
