Books Read in 2013



Books Read in 2013

Loved seeing what you read. Your list has some fantastic books, many which I wish I read. I haven't read as much this last year either, but still a lot.

Thanks, Natalie! There are just way TOO many great books out there! I purchase and pick up from the library way more than I can possibly read. I still have a stack of unread from 2012 on my shelves and under the bed! Oy!

Awesome to see your list of books read in 2013. You got a lot of reading done considering all that you had going on. :)

I have a lot of book that you read on my TBR list! I didn't keep track of how many books I read this last year- but I definitely plan to keep track this year. So far I have finished two. :)

Happy New Year!

Hi Jess - thanks for commenting!

It's fun to keep track because it's so easy to forget!

I've only read 1 full book this year so far, but parts of several others. I plan to finish them though, TAKEN by Erin Bow and FANGIRL by Rainbow Rowell! Just got sidetracked by life and writing again.

Happy New Year to you, too!
