2016 Reading Notes

Now that I'm (mostly) keeping track of what I read through Goodreads, I'm going to steal borrow the_other_sandy's annual list of works read. I adjusted the categories to match the types of materials I read, however, and I left off the page counts.

Children's Nonfiction

1. Pink Is For Blobfish: Discovering the World's Perfectly Pink Animals by Jess Keating

That's more than I realized, even with a lot of them being children's books and graphic novels. Now, I don't feel quite so bad about the amount of time I spend reading fan-fic instead of regular books. ;> If you're curious about any of these books -- why I read them, whether I liked them, whatever -- feel free to ask!
