My life that is usually overrun with books has become slightly more overrun with books, aka I have reviews due this week and a pile of nonfiction reads that seems to be growing, no matter how fast I read.

I’m calling in blog-sick for a few days so I can catch up. I will be back a the end of the week, however, and ready to begin my Best Books of 2012 Extravaganza!

In the meantime, you might enjoy browsing through book awards past.
