My Book Shelf

I, Pixie, author of this blog, am a book-worm, tried and true. Ever faithful to the written word. Nerd in the best sense of the word. I fully embrace my nerdiness, and I like lists. Here’s a list of books I’ve read, and if I remember (I’m horrible at keeping this blog running), I even review them. I’ve linked to the reviews I’ve done, but if I did not post a review on the blog, please feel free to contact me and ask my opinion on any of the books I’ve listed here!

The links lead to Amazon.com, where you can purchase the books. When you purchase books or music following the links from this blog, you’re helping out “I Should Just Shut Up”, with no extra cost to you! So please, if you plan on buying, follow these links! Thank you!

2012 Book List

I’m still reading, another 50-Book Goal this year, but I have to admit, this blog isn’t my main focus right now, nor is my reading list. Like I said, I’m still reading, I’m  just not keeping up with start dates and finish dates. This is what I’ve read so far, and eventually, I might do reviews for these sometime down the road. I’m still rating them, so if you’re so inclined, check ‘em out!
