A friend of mine posted his reading list for the upcoming year, and I thought that was kind of a fun idea. It’s not something I’ve really done before. Sure, I have a pile of ‘to-read’ books, but I generally keep this physically small. And that pile is often added to by simply browsing at the bookstore and seeing a cover/reading a blurb that catches my eye. But there are some books I have that I definitely want to read this year, and others that I don’t but that I need to pick up sometime throughout the year and read.
With that in mind, the list below in no way represents a complete to-read list for 2014. I’ll definitely be adding to it (planning to visit Barnes & Noble today, actually), and I’d be very much interested any suggestions from you. So, what are you reading?

Transatlantic by Colum McCann
The Marlow Papers by Ros Barber
Insurgent by Veronica Roth
The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne (I read this in high school, but I’m kind of wanting to read it again).
