Goal: Keep track!
My goals are to:
A) Keep track of what I'm reading, including re-reads.
B) Read at least 1 non-fiction book a month, not counting work reading. Further goals may come, as long as I can stick with A, which will be the hard one.

3 Non-fiction (did not meet goal)
9 Rated 5/5 Spoiler:
Derr, Megan - Engineered Throne
Why 5? The characters are drawn so well I could relate to them and that they were doing the best they could an awful situations.
Durreson, Amy Rae - Lord Heliodor's Retirement
Why 5? Character, totally character driven. Most re-read of the 5s, possibly because it is a short story.
Fielding, Kimberly - Brute
Why 5? A surprisingly interesting read with nuances.
Foner, E.M. - Turing Test
Why 5? The premise and execution. When I finished this I immediately started it again to see what I had missed. Sadly the next in the series was not a 5.
Hammond, T. - Team Red (books 1-6).
Why 5? These didn't start out as 5s, just good books. Then I re-read them, twice and found myself recommending them.
Kelly, Carla - Courting Carrie in Wonderland
Why 5? This is the idealized great-grandparents love story of the American west. The good people are good, the bad are some what redeemable, and the future is realistic.
Lee, Sharon & Steve Miller - Neogenesis
Why 5? Korval continues....
Lennox, Cass - Blank Spaces
Why 5? Not sure if the couple will stay together, but a somewhat realistic view of dating. Also an awesome drunk scene.
Rowyn, - A Rational Arrangement & Sebastian, Cat - It Takes Two to Tumble
Why 5? I don't remember - which means these should probably not be a 5
