January     As a Man Thinketh by James Allen
February     Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare
March     Persuasion by Jane Austen
April     Elantris by Brandon Sanderson
May     Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder
June     Archimedes and the Door of Science by Jeanne Bendick
July     The Law by Frederic Bastiat
August     Dumbing Us Down by John Taylor Gatto
September     Unsteady Dating by Jeannette G. Smith
October     The Foundation Series by Isaac Asimov
November     Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell
December     The Mansion by Henry Van Dyke
