I decided to track all the books I read this year, just to see how many I actually read and to help me remember authors that I like. Lots of these were recommended to me, several are books my book club did, and some are total fluff :) The ones in red are my least favorites, if you are looking for a good book, they wouldn't be my top recommendations. Most of what I read I really enjoyed though, so I can't really pick favorites from the rest.
