Wow - very respectable, and impressive that you remember which ones you read in the year! I always say I'm gonna do that, and I think with a little forensic help (scoping out the books beside my bed and the books stacked on the shelves, plus checking out EE's chat list, since I've now read (all but one of) them.

I've actually tried NOT to read so much since working to finish my own novel - I've been worried I'm gonna lose my voice, which was a real worry, since it took me so long to do this weird combination of working hard, yet relaxing, in order to find it.


Anyway, cool list!

Thanks!

Once you finish your novel, you should try either GoodReads or Librarything to track your reading. I used my tags in Librarything to remember what I'd read (otherwise, there wouldn't have been a list!). In fact, I should include a link to the list for more info.
