The 2011 Gimme List (via Joe Hill)

[Karen Mahoney]

So, the Mighty Joe Hill just put up a list on his blog he called The 2011 Gimme List. Here, he shared his 'Best of 2011' under the following headings:

The Book
The Episode
The Movie
The Comic
The Album

He picks just ONE thing for each, which is tough to do but part of the fun. What are yours?

Wow. This makes me sad in that it underscores how little I consumed last year.

I had a hard time remembering what books and movies I had seen and read.

I'm so crap at thinking of lists like this, so I don't even know why I put it up!

I like looking at other people's, though... Heh.
