Prepare to be Shocked

Bibliophile By the Sea has invited us all to track our book purchases in 2010. It's bound to be eye-opening and terrifying, but also a good way to keep track of what's coming in, don't you think?

Grab the button and join in! Hopefully my list will be short, but I doubt it. Bibliophile is also keeping track of the cost of each book, but I don't think I can take that much shock. Also, for my own piece of mind, I'm keeping track of how many of the books I buy I actually read. The green (linked) titles have been read and reviewed here. The purple titles have been read but will not be reviewed.

Here's what I've already bought this year so far:
