I don't know why I never make lists, considering that they seem to be exactly the right amount of fun. I do realize the 50-books-a-year meme proved to be a failure of epic proportions for me personally, but w/e, there are no rules in this because I'm incapable of sticking to any.
ETA: These are the lists I will gradually be adding items to throughout the year.
