The First 50!

Finally, I'm halfway to my goal of 100 books in a year! For those who don't know, this isn't in a calendar year (I wasn't smooth enough to think of this in time haha), but from 3/1/12-3/1/13. So I'm about on schedule, halfway through right now. Here's the list of the first 50 books I've read this year, and if I reviewed them on the blog, the titles are click-able links in case you missed that post! Feel free to ask about any of the books if you're interested! I have listed the date I finished the book, title and author, and rating out of 5 stars. I'm looking forward to reading the next 50 and sharing them with everyone! Be expecting a lot of YA lit this half, because I'm reading a lot of it for my classes, but some fabulous adult books as well! Happy reading!
