Sunday Salon: You Choose

You might have noticed that I am shamefully behind on writing up reviews. Then again, it's such a small number (HA!) that maybe it slipped past you. ::snort:: Since I am completely overwhelmed with how many I have to do and since the holidays are upon us, I thought I'd let you choose. Is there a book in this list that you'd like to see a review of sooner rather than later? Obviously I'll keep reading and adding to the list but if you ask for a review, it will help light a fire under me to do those that you're curious about first. Consider it an early Christmas present from me to you. :-)
