Wish List - updated 4/7/2013

I have a small book that has served as my book journal for the past eighteen months.  When I come across a book that sounds interesting, in my journal it goes.  The sources for such books are numerous: bibliographies, anthologies, the Washington Post Book Review, magazines, GoodReads or Amazon email newsletters, author interviews, etc.  This wish list are books that I would like to read but do not own - at least not yet!
