Books Read in 2012

 

It is that time of year that I look back at my reading for the year. Though in past years I have read more I am happy with the amount I did read. So here is the breakdown of what I read:

• Bible - Genesis - Song of Solomon
• Fiction - 109 books with 22 of them being audio books.
• Non-fiction - 50 books with one being an audio book
• Total - 159 books

I was more intentional in my reading this year and for my Reading Goals for 2012 I picked 25 non-fiction books sitting on my shelf that I was determined to read and then decide to pass it on or keep it. I was able to get all of these read and finished that last one on my list December 29. Then in April I signed up for The Classics Club Challenge and this year I read 11 books on my list (two yet to be reviewed).

So here is my final list of what I read. The books which have an asterisk (*) are books I read aloud to my kids.
