Stacks of Books Atop My Dresser<\/p><\/div>\n

OK, so I’m behind on my reading, and it’s time to do something about it. These stacks on my dresser are the books that I hope to read before the end of the year. They’re all books that I’ve had for a long time, and\/or that I think will be quick reads, and\/or that I already started once but didn’t finish, and\/or that are on the list of Top 100 Children’s Books. Reading all 33 (plus the book currently on my nightstand) by year’s end is a tall order but not outside the realms of possibility.<\/p>\n
