And there you have it! Just click on the book's title to check out my review. (No review for Shelter Mountain yet.)
Besides reading some fantastic fiction this year, I also discovered the joy of audiobooks and re-discovered my library card! :-) Books on my list above with an asterisk were checked out from the library.
Goals for 2013:
- Read at least 72 books.
- Read more books from my own TBR pile.
- Complete the Historical Fiction and Witches & Witchcraft reading challenges.
- Stay active in the book blogging community. (Blog hop & comment as much as possible!)
- Keep book blogging a fun, low-stress hobby!

Congrats on reaching your reading goal! You read some great books this year. I'm adding The Chaperone to my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteIt was so good!
DeleteWhat a wonderful reading year! Thank you so much for posting your favorites, and I will definitely be checking out a few to add to my list for 2013.
ReplyDeleteHope you and your family have a Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, Joanne!
DeleteCongrats on reaching your goal. I've read only Beneath the Shadows. The Chaperone looks like a good historical novel.
ReplyDeleteIt was. I love early 20th century historical fiction.
DeleteI should hit my goal this week! I am deciding on next years right now :)
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS!
Thanks! I was kind of worried I wouldn't get to 100, but I did, and with a few extras too. :)
DeleteCongratulations on reaching your goal! Thanks for your reviews. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteThank you. :-) Happy Holidays, Pat!
DeleteCongrats on reaching your reading goal of 100 books! But why so much less for 2013?
ReplyDeleteFrom your list, the only one I read (and loved!) is the Ellery Adams book, Pies and Prejudice.
Good luck with next years solutions!
I'll probably be going back to work full-time at some point next year, which means less reading/blogging for me. :-(
DeleteWell I read four of these books and wrote down the titles for the others. congrats on reaching your goal, i think it was a delightful bookish kinda year :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was your review of The Hiding Place that persuaded me to read it. So good!
DeleteHappy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on reaching your reading goals this year. Good luck for next year and I'm sure you will reach it too!
I loved Virgin River and Shelter Mountain too!
Have a great weekend!
I'm hoping to read a lot more of the Virgin River series next year. I have a lot of catching up to do. Happy Holidays!
DeleteCongrats on reaching your reading goals! The Chaperone is definitely one of my favorite reads of this past year too.
ReplyDelete:-) I loved it so much.
DeleteI love Amanda Stevens, just reviewed The Prophet today actually with an interviewed attached.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read Beneath the Shadows, happy to see it on your list.
Success for your reading goal, well done.
Beneath the Shadows got mixed reviews, but there was something about it that struck a cord with me. I remember the very last scene gave me chills.
DeleteAwesome books :)
ReplyDeleteI have to start thinking of my list too
I'll be on the lookout for your list. :)
DeleteCongrats on meeting your goal. I am falling short this year, but the positive side is that I have read some great books, a few being chunksters and have had a blast.
ReplyDeleteI loved The Chaperone, am wanting to read Pies and Prejudice so badly, that I may have to start it tonight (thanks for the recommendation), and I have yet to read a Robyn Carr book, so I will have to now. Maybe I will start one of hers tonight instead. Just finished a book and have been reading like mad today.
I wish I had started the Virgin River series sooner. I've read so many wonderful things about it, and (so far) they're all true! :)
DeleteThe Chaperone was a great book. I listened to the audio of it this summer. Listening to The Kingdom right now and enjoying it greatly. Not sure if I like it more or less than The Restorer yet. I am looking forward to reading Shadowy Horses. It seems to be making lots of peoples lists this year.
ReplyDeleteThe Kingdom and The Restorer were different, though I enjoyed them both. Loved learning about Amelia's background in the 2nd book. I hope you like Shadowy Horses - I was awesome!
DeleteOooh, I love Robyn Carr! She's a wonderful writer and a very, very sweet person. I'm a little behind on my Virgin River reading -- thanks for reminding me to catch up already!
ReplyDelete103 books is a lot, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI love this kind of lists of recommended books, thanks!
Great reading year for you. Hope to read some Robyn Carr in 2013. I've read 2 so far and liked them.
ReplyDeleteI have heard so many good things about The Chaperone! I need to read that book!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I'm at 92 books.... I don't think I'll quite reach 100, but I'm well over my last year's total. I have to say that I've not read any of your most memorable books, but I'm glad you enjoyed!!
ReplyDeleteNice! I loved The Shadowy Horses and enjoyed The Kingdom. Might add a few of your most memorable to my 2013 list :)
