It's the last day of the year, and since I've got nothing better to do, and because GoodReads has a couple of neat ways of showing off everything you've marked Read in a given year, I thought I'd give everything I read this year a once-over:
GoodReads Year in Review List of books read, spoilered for length: Click To View Spoiler I had to cheat a bit to hit 50 "books" for the challenge (there's a few short stories and novellas in there), but on the balance I think I had a pretty good year reading. So what about y'all? How was your year in books? |

Damn I wish Amazon kept up with my books. Good post! If you go and set up a GoodReads account, and then go to My Books, there's totally a link that'll import all your book purchases from Amazon, even if they're not kindle books -- just make sure you do that for the first time before you friend anybody or have them friend you, so you don't put 50,000 "feudist read [BOOK TITLE]" or "feudist wants to read [BOOK TITLE]" updates in their timeline. The "currently reading" thing makes it reasonably easy to keep up with what you're reading even without an e-reader that'll report back for you automatically. It's also a great vector for amazon to try to sell you more books, but it's a neat tool even so. |

I have a good reads account. I should make a list like that. It'll probably be like 1 a month though.
