At the moment I think this is my to read list all 124 books of it. My plan of attack is to check my Kindle purchases for any ebooks I have waiting to be read, then hit the local library for the rest - at a quick glance I have maybe 10 ebooks, leaving visits to the library for the remaining 114 or so. Childrens books I cannot book out as an adult library member so chances are I'll be the strange adult sat reading in the corner of the kids section.
