I didn't make my goal of 50 books, but I read 36 which is the most I've ever read in a year. Trying for 50 again in 2014!

Favorites from 2013 were the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling (I'm behind, I know) and The Book Thief by Markus Zusak!

Least favorite was definitely Fallen by Lauren Kate. I have no idea how I even managed to finish it...

My goal for 2013 was 50 books and I made it to 36. So I'm giving it another try this year! Really just shooting for 40, but 50 would be great!
