I like to do a post listing all the books I've read, and then a meme post about my reading based on one that scoradh did a few years ago. This is the first of the two posts--it's the list of books I read this year. The ones with links are to my reviews on this journal. I didn't review everything here, or at all, but I did review lots of them. I read several books for a piece of fan fiction that involved Isabella Stewart Gardner and her museum, but I only included the book I read cover to cover. I also excluded other non-fiction books I didn't read in their entirety and the books I reread. Hence,

1. Atwood, Margaret. The Blind Assassin

4. Boser, Ulrich. The Gardner Heist.
