Reading List 2012

I finally kept a list!  I didn't count all the half-books I never finished thanks to inattention or library holds running out.  I managed 26 books.  Not bad but not exactly amazing either.  This year I'm going to shoot for 30 knowing that I'll be attempting four continuing ed courses, a few sewing projects, a 5k, and a preschooler so we'll see how that goes.  :)

25. The Dex Files by Karina Halle (11/22/2012)
26. Into the Hollow by Karina Halle (11/23/2012)

Ta-da!  Lots of sexy YA and a good number of series in there.  The most anticipated book I read was the third in the Abarat triology.  (Finish the series, Clive Barker!  They are so good and at this rate I will be reading through the series for the better part of my life!)  The most enjoyable book in a surprising way was 11/23/63.  It was less about the horror and more about ruminations on life, purpose, emotional connections and the interconnectedness of the world.  It was a good crop of books and I'm excited to see what I read this coming year!
