So I reached my goal of reading 50 books on the 23rd. :D Even though college started this week I somehow managed to read 4 books inbetween classes and on the bus. Woo-hoo! I don't expect to keep doing that as the year progresses, but I do want to read at least one a week.

Anyway, here's the complete list of the first 50 books, plus totals:
