52 Books in 52 Weeks

Since 2012 is National Year of Reading #NYR12 I thought I'd try to read even more than usual. And then I saw that the lovely Anita Heiss is trying to read 52 books in 52 weeks, and I decided I'd try to keep up with her. As you do. So I'm going to list each book here when I finish reading it, and you can keep count with me. I did warn Anita that I may throw in a couple of Dr Seuss books when I start to struggle, and it's NOT CHEATING. Woot.
