Books Read in 2009
Some backstory: I’ve started keeping a list of the books I read over the course of the year in 2009. Around the same time, I started writing down thoughts of some of the books I’ve read in a notebook. I thought I’d start off by posting most of these “reviews” here on bibliogrrrl. It makes sense to me to post lists of what I read in 2009 and 2010 since you’ll probably be seeing “reviews” for many of these books here on the blog. So here goes the list for 2009.
