The List
A Year of Reading My Own Books Blog ♦ August 7, 2011 ♦ 3 Comments
Dear Reader:
These are the books that I will read this year. Once I have begun reading them, I will link to blog posts about them. When I have finished them, I will indicate this with a “Yes!” (this is my reinforcer word for training Gus – I use it to tell him he’s done something well). I’ll add to this list over time. Update: May 2012 I rearranged the titles to be alphabetical for easier access for you and for me. Don’t worry about all the numbering systems, they come from different lists…
