Through the Looking Glass

Well, folks, I did it. I kept my New Year's resolution: to read at least one book a month. I feel very accomplished, enriched, and empowered that I not only kept a resolution, but I that I read books this year! Here is a list of all that I read this year. I decided to use just a quick star-rating, encouraging you to check them out if you haven't already.
