I keep a running list of books I want to read. It's in various places...on my ipad, on my library "for later" page, in the notes section on my cell phone, in a book in my office and on sticky notes in my purse. Whenever I come across a book that looks interesting in a magazine or when browsing a bookstore, or when a friend and fellow book lover recommends one to me, I just add it to one of my lists. It is highly likely that I will never read all of the books on my "to read" list, but I keep adding to it anyway. As I have mentioned, books are one of my loves. So I thought I'd start sharing titles I come across that look good. I cannot recommend any of these books, as I have not read them yet myself, and this is by no means a comprehensive "to read" list, but here are a few of the titles I hope to get to one day...

Note: Some titles or author's names might be slightly off from when I jotted these down. Also, in some places I only wrote down first initial and last name instead of the whole name, but it's enough info to find the books.
If there's an * after the author's name that means I've read something else by the author and loved it.
If there's an X after the title that means I've since read the book!
If you have read any of these books and have an opinion, please share it. And if you have a book you've recently read and loved, please share that with me as well!
