Who me? Obsessed? Me?! Never!
So I never really questioned that I read more than 52 books a year. But this year I wanted to do the 52/52 and badgered BW until she put up a thread over on the Damned. I kept track. Damn I read a lot....
Lizsol's 52/52 list. Please note: I would listen to the audio books while working in the lab semi frequently. I wasn't sure initially if they counted towards my book count so I kept them separate. By the time BW and others assured me they did count it was too late - I had already separated them out. So these Audio books while kept separate were scattered throughout the year. Anyone wants thoughts/reviews etc and can't be bothered loggin in and checking the board I can YIM you or whatever.
