Books Read in 2012

I'm a lover of lists. 

We have lists for everything, even trying to pack a suitcase in preparation for a trip without a list is an impossibility.

For years I had started off the new year with plans for keeping a list of books read during the year, but the plan would always go astray.  One of the benefits of having this blog is that it has been a terrific tool for keeping this list, and it's turned into a fun thing for me.

So, here they are -
