I love reading. I always have a book or two on the go. And I love sharing great titles here on the blog.
That’s why I’ve decided to keep track of everything I read over the course of this year.
I had a lot of fun with my reading log last year. It’s definitely a tradition I want to keep up. Perhaps I can even have a friendly competition with myself. Can I read more than 65 books this year?
Without further ado, here is my reading list of 2013.
I will continue to update this post with each new title I read this year.

I read and enjoyed If I Stay last year and the sequel this year (which I did not like as much). I've recommended Jack of Fables to my husband who is desperately trying to get me to enjoy his love of graphic novels – Batman, Justice League, Green Lantern, etc. I've read a few, but prefer novels. I'm trying to read the promotional ones I've received as a T-L that turn classic literature such as Jane Austin into graphic novels. They are alright.
Hi Amber,
I love graphic novels and they go far beyond superhero books (although I love them too)
I felt like "If I Stay" tricked me a little bit. I was expecting a much different story. It was okay though.
I hope your husband likes the Fables series. Jack of Fables is a spin-off of it and both are amazing.
Thanks for the comment!
How about trying "Wonder" a great book that teaches perspective – is a great class read aloud with many star wars references.
Hi Ant,
Thank you for visiting and thank you so much for that recommendation. I will add it to my ever-growing "to read" pile.
Cheers!
I’ve been keeping track of what I read for the last 3 years – it’s nice to look back and remember everything that you’ve read 🙂 Tried to work my way out of my comfort zone this year, did fairly well, but not as much as I’d hoped! http://www.pinterest.com/katykaraoke/50-book-pledge-2013/
Hi Katy,
I am going to keep up this tradition. It’s really nice to have a reading record. I also like your idea of reading things outside of your comfort zone. I tried to do that this year as well.
Thanks for the comment!
