I've wanted to keep track of the books I read for a while.  Now that I'm on a Youth Services Librarian committee where part of what we do is read lots of books in order to run a mock awards and pick what books we would choose for various awards, I am making more of an effort to follow through.

Books read for the Printz Mock Awards Committee:
