first half of 2011

Here's the rundown of all the books I've read so far this year (including links to reviews when available).

I got my Nook at the end of December so this was my first six months using an e-reader. That and the move stress may explain why these selections seem a bit heavier on YA, paranormal, and romance than is usual for me.

My favorite was Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde.
