A friend from high school did something pretty cool on Facebook. She listed all of the books that she read this past year. I track my books on GoodReads.com, but I thought this was a pretty cool idea. I have listed a couple of books that I read before 2012, but I did reread them this year. The list is not in chronological order (not that it matters) because I didn't anticipate doing this. I do think this will become an annual blog post, though. :) Here is my list...
1. The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson
2. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson
3. The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein
4. The Noticer: Sometimes, All a Person Needs is a Little Perspective by Andy Andrews
