Books Read in 2013
I read fewer books than last year and didn't hit my reading goal, but not a bad year for me bookwise.
While I didn't manage two thirds coming off my tbr pile, I did manage to come in at just over fifty percent. I started a book review blog and managed to post on it fairly consistently. And I finally broke down and bought an ereader and the world didn't end. (Though my book count would have been marginally higher if I hadn't.)
