I did this last year, but since then I’ve made a concerted effort to read a bunch of these. Here’s my new Amazon List successes! Books read since I did this last year are surrounded by asterisks and linked to their review (some may be to my Goodreads review, since I don’t review everything on the blog). Books I’ve read on my blog earlier are also linked to their reviews.
