Wow. I haven't kept a tally of how many books I've read, simply because I tend not to post opinions of all of them, especially if they've already been reviewed by a blogger, but I'm sure I'm no where near the total you have. WOW!

OMG ... 305 books! That has to be some kind of a record. I honestly don't think I've seen anyone's list that has a higher amount than that and I read a LOT of blogs.

Congratulations on a very impressive reading year!

Okay. All I can say is "WOW!". You are a reading machine. What a great reading year you had---I can't even imagine reading that many, nor writing all those reviews! ;)
Happy New Year....

Wow! Very impressive stats! I see some on your list that I hope to get to this year, like the Stieg Larsson books.

I loved South of Broad this year.

Hope to read more books, but I was quite happy with what I did.

Here's my Musing:

Wow, I'm in awe of how many books you've read! What a great idea to list your favorites of each month. I may still that next year.
