Alisia's NYT Notable List

I've joined another challenge! Aaahhh. But I couldn't resist. There are some books on the list I have wanted to read this year, and some that are new to me. I am really looking forward to some good discussions. :)

So that I don't have challenge burn-out, I am not setting myself to any number of books, but here is my list of those that interest me. Well, actually most books on the list interest me, but I have culled it just a bit. Those in bold are books that I definitely plan to read this year (depending largely on library availability).

I apologize for all the CAPS,. I was cutting and pasting from the NYT website, and that's how they've got it there.
