2011 Reading Log

I’ve been inspired to keep a log of the books I read in 2011. I think it will be interesting at the end of the year to analyze my reading trends. Currently this is sorted by the month in which I finished reading the book, but at the end of the year I plan to parse the data and present the titles according to category or topic.

(*) Indicates a title read as part of the 2011 Debut Author Challenge.

(U) Indicates I didn’t finish the book.

(+) Indicates an adult title

(§) Indicates a self-published title
