Today I am sharing all the books I read this winter and my “hopefuls” for this spring. My hopefuls list is really of books I know I want to read so I’ve set them aside to choose from in March, April, and May. I’m a mood reader so sometimes I get to them and sometimes I don’t.

As usual, I didn’t read as many in Winter as I hoped I would, but I enjoyed the ones I did read.
