Winter Reading List

I am hoping that DeEtta will set up a new Winter Challenge for us. But at the moment, she is busy hugging necks and enjoying her family, so that will have to wait. Challenge or no challenge, I want a list to guide my reading. And today is the first day of Winter, so I am starting my Winter list.

My only set goal is to read 8 books during January and February as that is what I need to do for the Adult Reading Program at the library. I will get some sort of cool prize for doing that. This list is only a guideline, most of them are books I never got to this fall, as I ended up adding other books to my list and reading them instead.

I really need to make the marriage books a priority. Health books knocked them out of the que last time and I may have paid for that. Not that anything I do will be the cure all, but it might have helped if I had made them more of a priority.
