2014 ARC Master List

I implemented a new strategy last year using the inventory control method of LIFO (last-in, first-out) while reading my ARCs and managed to read 79% of all ARCs received during the year 2014.  That's a great turn over as far as I'm concerned, since some of those books were unsolicited and yet I chose to read.  On top of that I also read widely across the previous years' backlog of ARCs that I still have every intention of reading someday.

Part of me wants to just knock off the first couple of years here as who knows when I'll eventually get to them now but full disclosure, honesty and my OCD with making and maintaining lists won't permit it.

So in all it's awesome glory, here is the remainders of my ARC list from 2009-2013 with new 2014 arrivals being added to the bottom.  I will again be using the LIFO method and will see if I can reach a round 80% read rate for the years ARCs.
