books that i've read in '10
i'm not doing any challenge (50 books or 100,000 pages) i just want to keep track of what i read, for once. also over on live journal there's community called bookish where someone mentioned reading books set in, or having some of their action take place in another country. so i'm going to try to keep track of those as well.
if you look any of these up on amazon.com or similar sites, beware of possible spoilers.
nothing as of yet. watch this space for details.
all are fiction unless otherwise noted.
* indicates a re-read
^ indicates non-fiction
i won't do a review of all of them, but beware spoilers when i do
