Reading List
(Code, Anthro and Biz Included with a little fiction thrown in)

Although I refuse to have a list of formal new years resolutions, one thing I want this year is to read some of the books that I have already bought. I am not a woman that likes to shop, but I am unapologetic about spending money on books, physical and digital. I have so many that I have a hard time keeping up.

So this is the beginning of my reading list (I am sure that I will upgrade as the year goes on). I made this list by gathering books from around my house, and by looking up books that I have waiting for me in my kindle. My first observation is that I need to start reading more fiction(that will get added in as the year goes on, but I digress)!
