My Picks for "In Their Shoes"

There are so many great possibilities for the "In Their Shoes" Challenge, which runs from January 1 through December 31. Because the rules allow me to pick the number of books I read, I've decided to list all the titles I'd like to read - and then we'll see how far I get!

Note: I will be cross-listing my "In Their Shoes" picks with the Triple 8 Challenge (in - surprise, surprise - my "In Their Shoes" category). Because I have to read eight books in each category to complete that challenge, I am committed to read at least eight of these titles in 2008.
