About This Project:

This is less a blog and more of an organization tool. I will not be posting reviews of these books, I already have a book blog for that purpose.
This is just a way to get all those books that we know about/have heard about organized and done in a way that people can search. If nothing else, consider this the ultimate rec list. I will be putting all major books here. Popular books, bestsellers, award winners, books made into movies/tv shows, widely known books and those books that everyone recommends.
