2012 in Review

My goal for this year was to read 52 books.  I am pleased that I exceeded that.  It was a pretty chaotic year for me, so to read 71 books was pretty good.

There were definitely some favorites.  Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen was without a doubt one of my favorite books read last year.  I also enjoyed Maria V. Snyder's Touch of Power.  I look forward to reading more books from that series.  I also LOVED Edenbrooke by Julianne Donaldson!  Such a fun, clean romance - always enjoyable to read!

Some other series I enjoyed were the Sevenwaters series by Juliet Marillier.  I also enjoyed the Starcrossed series by Josephine Angelini and The Infernal Devices series by Cassandra Clare.

Of course there were some duds along the way... a so-so ending to the Hex Hall series by Rachel Hawkins.  A disappointing ending to the Nightshade series by Andrea Cremer and the Firelight series by Sophie Jordan.  What is it with authors always choosing the wrong guy in a love triangle?  So frustrating!

All in all, another good year of reading.  Looking forward to what good books I can find this year!  I am also hoping to do better about blogging my thoughts on the books I read in 2013.  Fingers crossed!

I thought I saw that your book blog had been updated, but thought my eyes were playing tricks on me! ;) I enjoy that you blogged on here!

I think my fave of the year was Edenbrooke. I really liked Scarlet, but it took me awhile to get into it. I really want to read the Infernal Devices series, but am waiting until the third book is out. Should be the last in the series, right?

I agree about the disappointing endings to some series this year. Boo!
