If you are just finding the blog, please note that this list was maintained mainly so that I could remember what I've read this year. The record does not fully represent me or all of my interests, so don't judge my reading habits. My interests change quite frequently. Also, I don't do book recommendations or link to major retailers or publishers. Except for the ARCs listed below, all of this books came from the library; the most magical place in the world!
Go forth and use your library card and READ!

Alright miss reader lady do you have any suggestions for me? I am looking for a new author or series or whatever to read. Or maybe I will just pick something off one of your reading lists.
