Books and Movies of 2011

2011 was quite a year for books and movies. Each year far down in my sidebar I keep a list of books read and movies watched. So as I rewatch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 with our kids on this New Years Day, I'm also copying my lists of books read and movies watched.
