One of my resolutions for 2011 was to read more, so here’s a list of the books I hope to read next year.

Books I have and intend to read first

  • The Advocate’s Betrayal …by Theresa Burell (good friend, good writer)
  • The Pot Thief Who Studied Ptolemy …by Michael Orenduff (I won this!)
  • Case Histories …by Kate Atkinson (I started this and want to finish it.) Read more →
