I found a document on my computer with all the books I read in 2011, the year before I started this blog. I WISH I'd thought of writing reviews of these books, instead of just recording that I read them, but I didn't want to forget about them altogether. So I'm going to keep them here, where I won't lose them! I skimmed this list and bolded the ones I know I loved the most. (Also, don't mind that they're all in lowercase--that was back when I wrote everything without any caps at all, haha!)
