While checking out some of the links at the Spread the Love link party over at The Steadfast Reader, I encountered a couple of posts about the Spring Reading Thing. The Spring Reading Thing is an event hosted by The Musings of a Book Addict. Sandra invites us to organize our reading for spring with a list of potential books to read this season. There are prizes available to those whose lists and wrap-up posts are linked in a timely manner — that’s tomorrow for the initial list!
I’m organizing my list by topic because of something Bryan at Still Unfinished wrote about today — I need balance in my reading!

That’s a total of 23 books, so probably at least 5 more than I’ll really read. But I want to read them all, so I’m not going to make a choice right now!
What are your reading plans for spring?
