So organized! Quite a list here. Some very good ones, but most of these books I've never even heard of. What was the best book of the year? Good luck this new year.
Looks like it was a very good year! Here's to another one....happy new year!
You've had a very good year! Happy reading in 2012, Bybee!
Jinx on the 112!!
Congratulations on a great reading year in 2011! I hope you read just as many or more in 2012!
Shouldn't one be penalized for reading truly awful books?
Ken & Carol: Penalty? Sometimes, you don't know they're truly awful until you're well into them. Innocent blundering.
