Our Growing Reading List

I've never considered myself an avid reader. I like to read, but generally I don't have a specific topic that I'm researching. In fact, I pretty much thought I had left the word "research" at the old heavy doors of my college library the day I graduated. Oh, how naive I was!

Besides the bajillion (Blogger doesn't want that to be a word) blogs and articles I have devoured online, I've also started keeping a rough list of books I want to sit down and read as we prepare for our little Fuest. These have come from our adoption agency, our social worker, other adoptive parents, etc.

Anyone have any thoughts on any of these, or suggestions for others? I would love your input!
