I know that a lot of people are doing top ten recaps of their favorite books of the year, but it's really hard for me to narrow the books I've read down like that so I figured I'd just do a compiled list with links to reviews of all the books I've reviewed on the blog in 2012.
I always wanted to do monthly recaps but never got around to it, so I figured I'd do this yearly recap now, and then start with monthly recaps at the end of January.
For now, these reviews are going to be listed in the order they were posted, by the title of the book. Clicking the link will take you to the review.

Some of the books were only reviewed on Goodreads due to their content.
Some of the books I just haven't published reviews for yet (always have to have that reserve of reviews)
And some of the books weren't in the GR database so that's why my GR total only shows 102
