My 2010 {hopeful} book list!

I always have multiple books going at any given time. I love to read and find that I grow so much as a person through reading a variety of books. Right now I have a HUGE list of books that I want to read this year. Most of them I already own and it's simply a matter of making time to read them. Typically I read the Bible and my devotional type books when I first wake up, then some other type of personal growth books in the mid-afternoon {if I have time}, then my fiction stuff at night right before bed. I like to read the 'easy' stuff at bedtime because it relaxes me and I don't have to think too hard about what I'm reading!

So, without further ado - this is my list of books that I hope to read this year. A lot of them are personal growth books, which are the ones that always seem to take me the longest to get through - so this is definitely a lofty goal but I hope to get through as many as possible. I'm sure I will also add a WHOLE LOT more fiction books to this list - I tend to just read whatever comes my way by recommendation from others. Or if my fave authors come out with something new then I tend to pick those up too. Books in red are ones I'm currently working on.

OK, here goes:
