Last year, I wanted to keep track of all the books I read… so here’s my list! I was a few short of my goal of 25 books this year, and I doubt 2013 will be any better since the new baby is arriving in February. My favorite genre by far is fiction (so if you have any recs, I welcome them!). I read a bunch of non-fiction in 2012, but it took me forever to get through them. I’m also really sick of parenting books, but I keep reading them!
Anyway, I’m currently halfway through The Power of Habit, but did not log it for 2012 since it’s already 2013 and I’m not done with it yet. I love to read and wish I had more time for it. Over the holidays, it was so nice to curl up near the Christmas tree, hot tea in hand, in a dim room… just me, my Kindle & my Kandle.

yay, can’t wait to read your list!
You read Les Miserables AND two other books in Sept!? You crazy!!
I spent MONTHS reading Les Mis… September was just when I finally FINISHED it!
That was my initial response too! I thought you finished Les Mis in just one month! I wish I had a stronger passion for reading like you and Shannon!
That’s why July and August had no books listed, I was probably trudging my way through Les Mis during those months, lol!
Don’t even get me started on Les Mis. ARGH!
