Spring Reading Thing 2011 Is Here!!!

Welcome to my post on the Spring Reading Thing Challenge!  I have many great books to read.  If I finish them I will add more to the list as I go.  I am an eclectic reader.  I read for pleasure and research for my writing.  I read for adults, young adults, and children.  I want to know what is out there to recommend to people of all ages.  That is why there is always such a variety of books reviewed on my site.

Here is my list as I have it right now.  They are not in any particular order.  I've tried that in the past and found I got discouraged.  I will not review all of these books because of the sheer number I hope to read, and also because some of them are research for 'my' book.  I look forward to seeing what everyone else is reading and adding to my TBR pile.
