*** Note ***
I have read more books since September, but I'm waiting in which categories to put them because I don't read as much books a year as you all seem to do (and 2010 was a definite LOW). A post about the books I've read will be up on my blog soon; those listed from The Catcher in the Rye are read from September on. Edited to add: my post about Books read in 2010 is up. Like I said: all titles following The Catcher in the Rye might be used for this challenge.
Am I playing unfair by waiting to fit my books into categories or are you this cunning as well??? ;)

Erin, you don't have to make a new post for every task you finish. :)
Can you reuse books? Like if I use Revolution for lucky colors can I also use it for early deaths?
