Book List 1:

This is more for me than to entertain you. After talking in some of my education based classes, the professors have been giving us suggestions for books to read. So, this is simply a list that i will be updating for myself.

And if you are ever stuck for a present to buy me, feel free to pick a book off this list. :) I am also going to be making a list of all the fiction-type books I will eventually need to get/read.
