Books Read in 2013

Happy belated new year! Each year I like to take a look back at what I've read this year.  For some reason, I decided a long time ago that I'd only include longer chapter books in my tally over on goodreads, and so this doesn't include the dozens of picture books I read in 2013. I might rethink that policy moving forward, because picture books are pretty awesome.

Anyway, here's my 2013 in books, with my favorites bolded. Here's to great reading in 2014!
