Reading List 2012 (Part 1)
I've always wanted to keep track of my reading stats for a given year, but never have before. That changes now, though - including my linked reviews!

Totals:
In other words, 26 books to date! Sure, that includes some shorter works (such as graphic novels and the Wolk thing), but that still works out to exactly one book per week for the first half of the year. I've never tracked my reading in such a manner before, and I'm honestly a little surprised and impressed at the result! I've always been a somewhat slower reader, so I don't doubt that my 2012 reading so far is significantly up from my normal rate (whatever that is).
Let's hope the latter half of the year can keep it up!
