Now that I’ve listed these here, I will take the “2012 Reading” list off my blog’s sidebar & replace it with a list of 2013 reads, which I plan to update every month.

I was only involved in one other reading challenge last year. I passed my goal for that challenge as well, which makes me happy! 😉

New Author To You challenge — My goal was 25 new authors, and I read 33! 🙂

I’ve seen a couple of lists people have made of their 12 favorite books of 2012. So, I made a list of my own! It was really hard to choose only 12 favorite books out of the 116 that I read this past year, but I think I managed. 😉 So, here’s my “12 Favorites of 2012” listed in no particular order.

——————————————–

I also decided to share my 12 Least Favorite books of 2012. I’m happy to say that it was really hard to pick 12 books that I really didn’t enjoy all that much. However, I was able to do it. So, here is my “12 Least Favorites of 2012”
