These are my book lists. They are a little confusing, I guess, so I'll do my best to explain them and how I keep track of them. This top list is my pool of 111 books. I will always have a pool of 111 books to choose from. Once a book on here has been read, it is moved to the bottom list, of finished books. Then, a book from the middle list is selected at random to take its place.

Looking forward to this! I too have a similar addiction but I'm more of a non-fiction reader. I'm curious what your favorite books are and themes you're drawn to--that way I know how your reviews relate to my preferences. I'm always looking for guidance on fiction from my friends.
