  1. One of my resolutions this year is to read 100 new books, hopefully with 15 being from 1000 Books You Must Read Before You Die. Otherwise, I don't care if they're romance novels, mysteries, etc. This will help me keep track of my progress.

  3. Berry, Steve The Emperor's Tomb
  4. McDermott, Andy The Sacred Vault
  5. Mead, Richelle Succubus Revealed
  6. Meyer, Stephenie The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner
