Having worked in a MOSS 2007 environment for my entire SharePoint career, the thought of upgrading to 2013 has been both terrifying and very exciting (simultaneously).

I started out reading SP 2010 books thinking we were upgrading there, so you'll see a few of those in the list too. Hope to share reviews of these as time allows.
