Book News : End Of Your Book Survey 2011

Graphic created by THE AMAZING Ginger at G-Reads. Let's give the girl a hand...she's talented! THANK YOU G!!

I know 2011 isn't over yet but, as I said last year, this is the time I start reflecting on what I've read and start looking ahead because I NEVER get much reading done during December with the holidays and what not! I'll be filling this out within the next day or so but I'll be revising if I happen to read something absolutely earth shattering that would need to be on here!

So feel to fill this out whenever you feel like it...whether that's today or in January! Feel free to link up with Mr. Linky and share your End of Year Books Survey and visit others on the list!
