Not a very impressive list this year now that I see it all written out, but hey - I was in grad school for part of it. Working on a new goal with Miri and Lin over at Reading Loons if you haven't seen it already, but this semester has been crazy so far, so we'll see how far I get. Either way, I just finished Anna Karenina, so I'm feeling good about myself. :)
