I love books beyond just about anything else (non-living) in my life. Since my thirtieth birthday is coming up (June 27th), my MIL suggested that I write out a list of thirty books I would like to own, but don't. It was really, really fun and a huge waste of my precious time :). So I finally finished the list, and here it is.
