BOOKS OF 2011

Okay, y'all.  Here they are - my books of 2011 with ratings (max 4 stars).  I'm going to list them in the order that I read them - with author, title, pages, and rating.  I'm not going to add a synopsis because I've done that throughout the year.  At the end of the list, I will give you my 5 top books of the year.  I mentioned last time that I would break the list up into 2 blogs.  I changed my mind.  Since I'm not doing any kind of recap of the book, it's only going to be one line per book.  Here goes:
