The other obligatory year-end post: annual reading log! For obvious reasons, I could not post this until after Yuletide reveals, because it would have been a blatant giveaway.
I didn't read as much this year as I did last year - and almost a third of those were rereads - but oh well, grad school. I also haven't finished reviewing all of these yet, but the great thing about committing myself to reading Les Mis for my first book of 2012 is that it will give me the chance to catch up. Meanwhile: the list!
