So here we are at the end of another year. And for the second year I have jotted down all the books I have read since January first. I started to do that in 2011 just to see how many books I actually read and to reflect on what they were and see what mood I was in! Last year's list is HERE .
And these are all the books I read this year, in chronological order as I read them. (So if you see something on the list that you were considering reading and wondering how it was, just ask me! Many of these were awesome.)
