What should I read next??

Help…I have so many books that I’ve been thinking of reading that I am overwhelmed! Here’s a sampling of a few of my bookshelves–

In the hopes of keeping myself better organized I’ve decided to start a list of books that I want to read.   I am hoping that you guys will take a look a give me some feedback…help me decide what to bump to the top of the list!!
