Notes~ My TBR is too big to finish books I don't like, therefore I don't have categories like 'worst book of 2006' or whatever. My thoughts about specific books mentioned are linked by author's last name on the sidebar. All DNF's are romances & therefore will be discussed on the romance summary post.
