Books Read in 2011
The number of books I read in 2011 was embarrassingly small. This is something I’ve been thinking for the last couple of years. It’s part of why I started this blog (to keep myself accountable) and why I decided to do monthly themes in 2012 (something fun that will hopefully keep me motivated). So here’s a list of what I read in 2011, in order of when I completed them.
- Female Spectacle: The Theatrical Roots of Modern Feminism by Susan A. Glenn.

As the calendar switched from 2011 to 2012, I was working on As I Wake by Elizabeth Scott and Bitchfest edited by Lisa Jervis and Andi Zeisler. I have since finished As I Wake…Bitchfest has become my “pick it up when I have a spare few minutes” book. Both will probably be counted towards my books read in 2012.
