I started keeping track of the books I was reading during my service in the Peace Corps, and over a decade later, still haven’t stopped! I’m based out of Chicago and try to write about my reading.

have you used living social? it’s a facebook application or you can just register (free) online. i like it for my book list because you can make categories and it links to amazon so the covers come up, which makes it prettier
yeah, I play around with that in FB, but haven’t looked their site on it’s own. Will check it out!
