My Year in Reading - 2013

2013 saw me woefully lacking in the reading department.   I read 26 books this year which is at least 10 less then I usually read.  I found that my online reading time is really taking a bite out of my book reading time and I'm going to try and change that in 2014 a bit.

I currently have 384 books on my "to-read" list at Goodreads but I'm starting to go back through my list and see if they still draw me to reading them.  My tastes and interests change up a bit and some of those books have been on the list for at least two years.

I think my favorite book I read in 2013 was "Inferno" by Dan Brown.

He's one of my favorite authors and although a lot of people didn't like it, I did.  I also finally got around to reading the third book in the Stieg Larsson series "The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest" and loved how the trilogy ended!

I also read my first Joe Hill book this year and I have three more of his loaded onto my nook HD and those are all high on my "to-read" list.  Those of you who might not know, Joe Hill is Stephen King's son and he's a terrific horror writer.

I've decided to lower my expectations in 2014 as far as how much reading of books I'll get done.  For the last three years I set my goal at 52 but I've not been able to read a book a week, so 2014 I'll shooting for 30 books, or 2 - 3 a month.  Much more doable right now with my schedule.
