Michelle (3M) from 1morechapter here. Wowsers. I just realized that I have less than two years to finish at least 75% of this list. Reading 46 titles in two years is very doable. I just regret that I haven't gotten further along by now. One of the reasons is personal issues in 2010 that made me forego reading more than I should have. Hope to get back on track now, though. I didn't review all that I read, either, but there are some that are linked below.
Happy reading, everyone!
