2010 Books on the Nightstand

What's on the Nightstand

Post rotates to first of month every month

I am updating the list as books come in, whether purchases or review books in order to keep better track of what is in the stacks. I won't be reading them in any particular order, just by mood or randomly picked using Random.org. Advanced Reader Copies will be read and reviewed around their release dates. Review books as soon as I get to them.  Challenge books throughout the year and by the end of the Challenge.  I have a whole slew of non fiction books but won't be listing all of those. Those also will be read by when the mood strikes and I probably won't review them, unless its something that really strikes my fancy.
