I have set myself a genealogy challenge for this Australia's National Year of Reading . As I am a teacher librarian I also need to read to keep up with the students at my school. It looks like it will be a busy year. Each of the books listed below come from my bookshelf. I have selected 12 - an equivalent of one per month. Most of them have a special significance. Some will be more challenging than others and a couple of them I'll be able to read in an hour. I'll review each of them here. What books are you going to read this year?
