Books I've Read in 2012

For the past two years I've track of the number of books I read and it was fun to look back at the end of the year and see what I read. So I'm doing it again :)

This list is only of books and novellas I've read and finished (though if I read an entire anthology, I list only the anthology title). The books are listed in the order I read them.

There are sure to be many wonderful books on the list, but the ones with a ** by them are ones I highly recommend.
