Framed's 2007 Book Reviews

I've decided to post my TBR list as it stand on January 1 of each year. Hopefully I will make some progress, but I think it will be interesting to look at over the years. So on this day, there are 225 books on the list. Ouch! But it has been bigger at times last year. I've read some and deleted some.
