Book List
In 2010, I heavily neglected my love of reading. I was tired all the time from studying, thesis, internship and work - when I got home I wanted to sleep. With that said, I decided to try and make 2011 different. This is a list of the books I want to read and keep track of - see just how well I do with my first ever New Year's resolution. I set these books aside as I was de-cluttering my bookcase and might have been a bit too ambitious :) Some books on here I've read already, but would like to give a second look since I don't remember them too well - but ones I haven't read take priority :)
