Due to confusion, I'm changing the formatting up slightly. New additions to the list will be at the top, followed by the complete list for the year. As a reminder, they are sorted by author, and the numbers clarify the order in which I read the books. Additionally, asterisks (*) mean I've read the book before. The best bit about this? No one cares except me! And seriously, why should you? This lists serves primarily to hold me accountable to myself and serve as a record. Plus, it keeps me from rereading as many books (as that lowers the bragging factor and raises the guilt factor when I see just how often I reread things).
So far, out of the thirty read, seventeen are new to me. Only nine more to go to make my average of a new book every two weeks. I suppose it's good I got such a leg up on this goal in January and February, since my reading time has been drastically cut down by getting a life (or something). Don't think I'll be able to keep this goal up next year.
