I read for pleasure most of the time, so when I speak of reading "goals," I am talking in very loose terms. There are a number of books that I'd like to read in the next while. Some of them have been around for a while, but others of them are fairly new. If you've read any of them, I would love to know what you think.
Here's my list:
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins
The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton
Tall Grass by Sandra Dallas
Half Broke Horses: A True Life Novel by Jeanette Walls
The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen
The Help by Kathryn Stockett
The Zookeeper's Wife: A War Story by Diane Ackerman
Fire of the Covenant: The Story of the Willie and Martin Handcart Companies by Gerald Lund
I'm also going to try to read more children's literature, especially Newberry award winning books.

I have read and loved Wuthering Heights, The Woman in White and The Help. All great choices and the first two I would read again because it's been a while since I read them.
I read Wuthering Heights when I was about 16 and LOVED it! I haven't reread it in a long time! I am curently reading "The Help"...it's got great reviews! I'll let you know!
I just started reading a great sereis to my kids if you are looking for more great childrens lit-the first book is called Peter and the Starcatcher. It is the pre-story for Peter Pan...so far it is great!
