This is my planned reading list for 2012. I like to set it at the start of the year so I have something to aim for. I may not read them all or I may swap ones out for others as the year progresses. Some of them I’ve read before but have been so good that I’m revisiting them.

I’m also planning on getting back to writing Amazon reviews for all the books I read. I used to do this but kind of got out of the habit. You can view my Amazon profile to see if I stick to my plans…
