book club - 2013 recap



One of my (15...I know) New Years Resolutions for 2013 was to read two books a month. And I did it! Almost. If you're interested in any recommendations, I have listed all the books I read this year after the jump, with my five star rating next to each one. If you've read any of them, I'd love to hear what you thought! I am just now finishing up The Goldfinch, and it by far takes the cake for the best book I've read this year. Second place goes to Unbroken, and third place goes to Infidel. And the award for making me laugh on the train and therefore embarrassing me goes to.....Dad is Fat
