Time for the next one!  How exciting.  Some titles have returned that were removed from Booklist I, but let's be real--this list changes as my interests do, so I'm sure we'll see a few updates throughout the year.  But hey, some good titles made the first cut.  Off we go!

There isn't anything too out of the ordinary above.  Most of my usual interests are represented here: historical fiction (a lot of WW2 literature here), adventure nonfiction, and anthropological/geographical science narrative.  There's more classic author/literature here, mainly because I can download that for free on my iPad, and of course, a new slew of already-owned books.  There's apparently a good used bookstore near my office, but I do miss my Eagle Eye bookshop in Atlanta.

I think this week will be a good time to start a new one, and while I'm bummed to be missing a fun Labor Day holiday this year, I'll enjoy some good reading and relaxing time.
