because i can't resist ...
little_tristan posted a meme out of Amazon's list of "100 Books to Read in a Lifetime" and of course i immediately wanted to do it. and since i've otherwise been a productive little bee today, i'm going to indulge. and add my own little twist.

2013 reading so far
these are the books i've read so far in 2013. if you're also on Goodreads, you'll notice that there are some books here (labelled nGR) that do not appear in my Goodreads challenge totals. this is for various reasons. sometimes they are re-reads that were counted in my 2012 tally, sometimes they are re-reads that i just didn't feel like including, ( Read more... ) -
