Mandy’s 2012 Reading List

There are still two months left in this year of 2011, but I am anxious already to roll into the next year.  It is not just because I like the the fresh start of a new year, but because I am so excited to jump into my first ever, planned out, reading list for the year!

After I read this great book and responded by writing up my own reading priorities, I finished the process by compiling an official reading list for myself based on my new found reading priorities.  Are you sitting there wondering what I plan to read this coming year?  *expectant grin*

Oh, alright! So you’re not…but just humor me and pretend to be waiting anxiously, okay?  *grin*
