Michael (knowledgelost) I know I did this last year, but it was fun to keep a record of what I've read, so I'm going to do it again.

This year I've challenged myself to read atleast 10% Non-fiction, New Releases and classics. So I'll see how I go with that.

So far;
1. Bedtime Stories for Children You Hate by Antoinette Bergin

2. A Book to Love by Jennifer Byrne
