Some of us had real fun keeping track of what we read all through last year, so let's see how long we can keep it going this year. I'm upping the game for myself - since I read so few single issues, I'm going to start logging them as well!
Simply put, log what you read here (just come back and edit your message as you add to your list). If something really stands out, mark it as a favorite. From that list, pick one (Highlander-style) to be the "best" book of that month. At the end of the year, if you keep it up, you'll have 12 books that should be permanent additions to your bookshelf or collection!
So let's go!
