Even if there's little interest (grin), here is my list of important books coming out in the next 12 months: http://www.juvenilei...reviewing-2013/

I have two of those Apostles Diary books published by Signature Books, come to find out one or both is now online! dagnabbit. But looking forward to the Don Bradley 116 lost pages work and I want that Pres. Ivins diary, because he seems like a lesser known Apostle/1st Pres, plus he was born on me birthday :acute:
