2009 Booklist

I'm not even going to bother trying to keep track of exact dates this time, but here's the list of books for this year, with as much information as I have on hand or LibraryThing has attached to the description. I will do my bestest to actually put in all the books that I read this year. Here's hoping.

Note: If the title of a book is linked, that will take you to the entry in this blog that talks about it.
