2008 Book List
Last year I decided to keep a running list of all the books I read in a year's time. It was a resolution of sorts, and believe it or not...I maintained it all year long. The other day I even went so far as to incorporate my entire book log into a Shelfari account (created under my pen name) to link to my author website.
So here's my list. I believe it totals 60.
