50 Books in 2012
Last year was such a success (with a pulse-pounding, seat of my pants ending), I’ve decided to do it again. This year, instead of just listing the books, I plan to write up a brief review after reading each one. I’ll also be linking authors who have Tumblrs or other sites on the web.
Once again this page will be divided into three sections: novels, short stories, and graphic novels/collected comics. Here we go
