The topic this week is Top Ten Books at the TOP of My Spring 2013 TBR List... which is going to be terribly difficult to narrow down, no doubt. I have waaaaay too many books in my lovely TBR (TBR=To Be Read... in case you were wondering) list. I have so many, in fact, I've joined the TBR Pile Reading Challenge to help me slim it down a smidge. I've also started to make a kind of reading schedule to keep me on track, which is helping heaps. Here are the books I hope to read this spring!
