I know that I am not alone in being the owner of a dangerously high and tilting book tower of ‘To Be Read’ titles, not to mention the Kindle!And yet, I continue to buy more and more books! So, I have decided to do something about that. Inspired by Cathy Brown and her lovely blog 747books.com – I am challenging myself to read 20 books, beginning on September 1st and finishing on 31st December. Here is my list – I will not be reading them in any particular order – and may replace some with other titles that take my fancy, but for now, this is it!
