A List of 63 Books Read in 2012
By far, I read the most books I've ever read in 2012. I started the year with a goal of reading 50 books... and ended up reading 63! I read a great variety of books from memoirs (like The Education of a Wandering Man by Louis L'Amour) to science fiction (like Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card). I discovered new authors (like Ruta Septys' Between Shades of Grey) and classics (like Dickens' Oliver Twist). I read books written for the young (like books by Gloria Whelan) and for adults (like David McCullough's The Greater Journey). It was an amazing journey as I read book after book, laughed and cried, and learned about different times and places... even imaginary ones! I had a wonderful year of reading. Here's a list of those books from the first to the last...
