(How I came up with this list: 1. Printed lists from the library of books I checked out, 2. Lists I made of books to return to various people, 3. Books my book club remembered reading this year, 4. lists of the years best YA or bestsellers that I remembered reading. Ok, maybe I didn’t read some of this list this particular year. But they’re not showing up on my lists of years pasts and I know that I read them, so it must’ve been this year, right? Hehehehe)
