2012 Reading List

Alright, I know you've all been waiting in eager anticipation for this, so here it is. This is my reading list for the year 2012! Hopefully there is some nice overlap in some areas, but enough eclecticism overall (although, obviously most are intended for "Christian" audiences, I guess).

Again, this is one of those times where I'm so excited to read so many things that this list hardly contains everything I hope I read this year! However, I wanted to re-read one book and make sure that the majority of the books on this list are ones that I already own rather than needing to purchase!
