Books


2012 was the year I decided to keep track of all the books I've read. Partly out of curiosity as to how many books I read in a year and partly so I can refer back to which books I'd recommend to others and which ones I wouldn't. As far as reviews, I don't have a checklist or any sort of strict review system. If I like a book I give it a high grade. I tend to like reading memoirs and historical fiction, but you'll see me step away from those styles from time to time.
