Well there they are. I don't plan to check back to this list often but I figure it can't hurt to have some inspiration if I feel like I can't find anything to read. Do you have any 2012 reading goals? Or anything I absolutely must add to my list?
I have a goal of reading Shatter Me by Taherah Mafi and Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins. I've been hearing too many good things about them!
