I haven't posted my
book awards for a few years because I haven't been reading much lately (which is shameful for an English major, I know). I haven't even been keeping lists of what I've read because it would be too short and embarrassing. But I pieced this list together from memory, and I think I got most of it. These are books I read (or at least, read most of) 2010-2012, arranged by author last name.
