  1. Hi!
    My goodness that's a lot of books. I tried reading Cutting for Stone, but couldn't finish it. Have a great day!

  2. I'm following suit on this. Perhaps it will get me back to reviewing my books on a regular basis. Thanks for the idea.

  3. Good luck getting through your reviews that still need writing. I have quite a list myself.

    To counter balance the large number of academic journal articles I'm reading, I read a bunch of books off my wishlist. I also finished up some text books. Here's what I'm reading this week.

I love to hear what you think, especially so I know I'm not just whistling into the wind here at my computer.
