Books I Read in February

I wanted to try something new to see what kind of response I got. Will this be redundant to Goodreads? Does everyone who know me in Twitter and through Google+ already read what I post in Goodreads? So far I post about the books I bring home but not the books I've read, and that seemed missing. What if I posted links to the books I finished every month? I only talk about six books at the most on Reading Envy, and often read more than that. Those marked with an asterisk have been or will be on an episode.

Let me know if this is interesting to you!
