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). In an effort to educate myself and gain new skills, I have been reading several new books. 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. So here's the list in no particular order:
