Thanks, Carl. I borrowed the idea from MizBooks to list them that way.
I actually hadn't planned to devote the majority of the February to Jance, but I was really on a series tear there for awhile. I really felt like I'd accomplished something by the end of that month. :-)
Nice list! You read even more than I did. :) It took me a while, but I just finished putting together a list of all the books I read in 2006: all 110 of them! This is more than double what I read in 2005, due to various factors (explained in more detail in the post). They're broken down into categories, and I denoted the ones that I liked the best.
By the way, I really liked "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan," too. :)

Really enjoy the idea of listing them by month. Cracked me up that Feb. was Jance month...was that planned or just a heat of the moment thing?
