the book hoarder i've become

so many books...so little time. i get on reading streaks and then i'll get all these books i want to read but then after a few i'll go through an extended period of no reading at all. i don't even want to read street signs during these times. so i've acquired quite the bookcase of books that i haven't even cracked yet. so i thought i'd list the unread books so i can look back occasionally and see how far i've come:
  • eyes of a stranger
  • santa cruise
  • i heard that song before
  • at first sight
  • the guardian (started about 3 times)
  • the purpose of christmas
  • sea glass (also started a couple times)
  • the memory keeper's daughter
  • flashback
  • raising an emotionally intelligent child
  • the princess
  • forever...
  • keeping it together in a pull-apart world (i really should pick this one up sometime)
  • princess (i)
  • princess sultana's daughters (ii)
  • princess sultana's circle (iii)
  • mayada
  • whisperings of the spirit
  • the explosive child
  • the choice
  • the wednesday letters
  • light in shadow
  • get off the best-stressed list
  • how i got this way and what to do about it (partially read...so i know how i got this way, just not what to do about it yet)
  • a time to dance
  • inkheart
  • where are the children?
  • the woods
  • hokus pokus
  • sometimes i wake up grumpy...and sometimes i let him sleep
  • payback
  • sunday at tiffany's
  • the gift of eternal life
  • the painting on the pond
  • as always, dave
  • the promised land series (read the 1st before the others came out and now have to reread it before going on)
  • almost sisters
  • fire of the covenant
  • journey to zion
  • hold tight
  • the last child
  • being the mom
  • the risk of darkness
  • the host
the books i'm in the process of reading are:
  • house rules
  • a train to potevka
  • the gathering
  • the pure in heart
i'm thinking i better get reading!!
