Back at it again for a spring semester project!

This is my FINAL semester for my Master's in Library Science program and I am so excited. This time around, instead of 15 children to YA books, I get to read 30 (!) adult novels! Absolutely insane but I like a challenge. 

Blessedly, my professor sent us the required reading material checklist early so we can get a head start. Another blessing: I can use my already tried and true blog! Praise God! Below are the genres I must read this semester and an idea of what is to be included in the blog. Can't wait!
