The following are the books I read during the 2012 year. This year, I finally met my goal of reading at least one book per month. I actually enjoyed all the books I read this year. If I had to choose one book, then I'd recommend The Bridges of Madison County by Robert James Waller. I enjoyed the simple story and how it was told. I would also recommend The Personal History of Rachel Dupree by Ann Weisgarber, although I found the beginning of the book a bit hard to get into. I found the historical aspect of the book interesting, despite feeling that there were other issues that could have been expanded and explored. Lastly, I really enjoyed the magical elements of Of Bees and Mist by Erick Setiwan, even if some of the issues seemed to hit close to home.

I wish I had that much time to read. Did I mention I dislike reading?
Anonymous, reading does take time, but I made it a priority. As I stated in my past blog posts, I set a personal goal (not a New Year resolution) to read at least 12 books in a year. Some years I meet my goal, other years I don't. I always try to strive for 12 books in a year.
I'm sorry to hear that you dislike reading. Hopefully, you don't give up and come across a book that will change your mind and makes you not want to set it down.
I think the only books we have in common are the Hunger games trilogy. Was Abe Lincoln: Vampire Hunter good? I was meaning to read it. The movie was surprisingly good. I was pondering if I should read it or not. I have been busy, but I should read Life of Pi. :) The intro seems really interesting already. Do u know if it's suppose to be based on a true story or something. The beginning makes it sound like it is. Or maybe it's a story within a story. I guess I should just read it to find out.
Aplysia Oceanography, actually Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter isn't too bad. It's an interesting twist on Lincoln's life. I will admit that the structure of the book gets a bit annoying, but overall it's a good book.
