2012 was an ok year in books. I wasn't that excited about many of those I read, and as per usu I didn't make enough time to read. So I'm not even all that inspired to document. But as I've done in 2011 and 2010, I want to continue to blog the books I've read. Those that are bold are favorites. In order of appearance:

More than 2010 but fewer than last year. Almost all of the books I've made favorites are YA titles. I do love a good YA novel.
Here's to more reading in 2013, and here's hoping there are more favorites on the 2013 list!
