books of 2011

I'm sure I wasn't actually reading here, but it's still pretty darn cute :)

I read. A LOT. And I’ve often wondered how much I read, and what I read, but since I can’t seem to keep track I don’t remember. I tried Goodreads, but even that was too much work for the vast number of books I go through. So for 2011 I’m going to keep a list of the books I’ve read. (Maybe.) (Well, I’ll try anyway!)
