What 'chu read lately? (Part 2)

I was flipping back through some of the archived entries on this blog and realized that it has been some time since I posted a list of the books Michelle has read. There have been no updates since October 31, 2005 to be exact.

Instead of listing everything she's read since then, I'll simplify things for everyone involved and only include those books she has read this year. Oh, one more thing. Recently Michelle took my advice and began ranking the books she's read on a five-star likert scale (five being better than one). Unfortunately just the last 20, or so, have rankings; however, if you want a more thorough review, I am sure Michelle will be more than happy to provide that!
