I don't use this blog anymore, but I do still:
1. Read way too many books
2. Meticulously track said books.
Here's what kept me busy in 2011, roughly divided by time of publication (sound familiar?).
Comics are in bold. Excluded from the list are the 300 picture books I had to read for a research project--my favorites were all by David Wiesner--and a bunch of weirdo cookbooks that taught me absolutely nothing about cooking/this thing they have now called an "oven."
Anyway...
