Books I Read in 2011

This year, I embarked on a challenge to read 11 books. As you see, that was pretty much accomplished right away and so I readjusted my goal to 60. Below are the books I have read this year. The ones I really, really, really liked I have bolded and italicized. I have a very long list of books I’d like to read which I maintain on Goodreads. I also have reviews for all of these books on the site as well. If you’re a book lover, I cannot stress how fantastic a site Goodreads is. Please do friend me on there and let’s mix books!

By the way, I do love hearing from others about their favorite books and why. So if you’ve got some book suggestions, let me know.
