I even had a huge clean up of my TBR pile and got rid of the 'shoulds' completely - the pile is still out of control, but at least they're all friendly faces staring back at me :-)<br /><br />Good luckBronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-13582904425322710462014-01-04T00:22:07.356-05:002014-01-04T00:22:07.356-05:00I love your enthusiasm!

Lol But that's kinda what we do, right? Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography is cool, too - he was quite the character.

Last year, though, I picked some books I'd been dreading, so this year I put more fun books on the list. <br /><br />You have such great choices! Game of Thrones is totally addictive, and I really enjoyed Tomalin's Dickens biography -- I listened to the audiobook last year, it's really good.
