Book List 2012

Here is my 2012 reading list. My goal for 2011 was 20 books. I way overestimated the amount of time I would have to read once becoming a mom. I only read 11 books last year, but I still think 11 is good and having a published list definitely kept me motivated. Now that I am aware that reading is a luxury for mothers, I am drastically cutting my list for 2012. My goal is to read 12 books in 2012. I will continue to post a review after each one. Hope you enjoying some good reads in 2012 too, and if you have any suggestions please share!
