Books Read in 2013

Happy New Years!! Another reading year has ended and it is time for my annual reading list for the year. Like 2012 I didn't read as many books  in as I have in past years, but I had a few more responsibilities on my plate this year which I know affected my reading.

I read all the books on my Reading Goals of 2013 list. My goal with this list is to read books that have been sitting around on my shelves for a while, when read I then decide if the book is worth keeping or get rid of it. The good news is that I did donate or sell over half of them, the bad news is I probably bought just as many if not more in the house that are now waiting to be read! I also read 11 books from my The Classics Club list.

Here is a breakdown of what I read followed by a complete list of books:
