Yes, these are the top 10 books on my TBR pile. The phrase
"so many books, so little time" couldn't be any
truer. The actual pile touches the ceiling. The books listed
here are in no particular order, nor are they in any order
I plan to read them. As I said, I usually read books I'm in
the mood for. Probably why my TBR pile is so high.
As with the books I'm currently reading and intend to read,
I've linked these books to Amazon.com in the event that you
want to pick up a copy for future reading and discussion.
