School reading assignments (added category today)
I am back in school and I have readings I am assigned to do throughout the term. I know that each of them is not a "book" but there will a lot more than 8 of them over the course of the year. Since I have to do the reading for class I will keep track of it here because having it be a part of this process will be added motivation for me to actually read the stuff.
