While I lean toward literary fiction, my list includes a lot of poetry (and I feel certain there are other collections and chapbooks I've read that didn't get written down. I always keep a little poetry handy wherever I go.) Many of the books are written by North Carolina writers; many were written by authors I consider friends.
I love to see others' lists as well. I can check it against mine and then add title to my "to read" list. While I may have one more to add before midnight rolls around on Thursday, here's the list so far:

That's more than a book a week, Cuz! How do you finish that many books and do all the other stuff you do? You're amazing! Maybe if we had been "blood cousins," I would have gotten some of those fast-reading genes! I'm going to try to remember to keep track of how many books I read in 2016. Can I count the ones that I've started in 2015? Congratulations on all that reading!! Lotsa love,
Cuz
