Books read: 50 (not bad)
Of those, how many were:
*Romance novels: approx. 11, depending on your definitions (hmmm...)
*Owned by me: 19 (!!!!! This constitutes balance for me, since usually my borrowed percentage is much higher)
*Written by female authors: 35 (i.e. 70% - wow)
*Non-fiction: 8 (perhaps a little low, but I clearly prefer fiction)
Books still on my "to read" bookshelf next to my bed: somewhere around 50 (improvement)
Books on my "ready to give to a new home" shelf: 9 (time for someone to have a book swap party!)
Fave reads:
The Night Circus (probably my all-out favorite of the year)
Queen Margot
Sarah's Key
We Need to Talk about Kevin (probably the book I've thought about the most since finishing)
A Visit From the Goon Squad
Enchantments
The Other Guy's Bride (the one that made me smile the most)
The Count of Monte Cristo
Which is to say, I liked a lot of books written by women plus a couple by Dumas.
Goals for 2013: I'm not really sure. I'm going to keep plugging away at my bookshelf and my "to read" lists. I'm also going to make more of an effort at non-fiction - let's aim for 10 NF books, and at least two of them history. I miss you, history. (Thank goodness for historical fiction!)
