Jamie B.'s 144 books in 2010

[Jamie Bitzenhofer]

So, this is off to a late start, but I'm up for the challenge though I'll have to make up for lost time. I'm going to include the books I've read within the past couple of weeks, since that seems fair given two months have passed.

*I've changed the format of my log to make it more condensed. Also, since I started late, my goal is to average 14 books a month.*
