What I Read In 2013

As 2013 comes to an end, I am sharing what I read this year (and linking up with Carrots for Michaelmas, go check it out).
I certainly would have liked to read more than I did, and know that I will have a better plan for that in 2014!

This list was harder to compile than I thought it would be! I am thankful for my Amazon Kindle list and  It was nice to remember the books as I typed them out though. And I am sure I missed a couple, but that is what I get for not updating Goodreads, now isn't it?

    I used to keep a running tab on my blog of what I read; I can never remember! I might need to get back to that!

    I keep a reading log in a little Badtz Maru notebook. I try to write down each book as soon as I finish. Hey, I finished a book last night, need to go write it down . . .

    "Who's Badtz Maru?" Glad you asked! http://www.sanrio.com/characters-badtz-maru/

      I think a handwritten list is a great idea. I had to follow the link and then I was like "Aha!" I didn't know that Badtz Maru had a name!!

      Thanks for stopping by! Love your blog! I did like it, I feel like it is a must have! Our library copy was actually missing pages which made me sad but I need to buy this one for sure. Not as specific in terms of daily plans but a great book.

    Love to see your homeschooling reads at the end. What did you think of 23?

      Yeah! I almost forgot all about them! A must read, but not as specific in terms of logistics as I would have liked.

    Great list. The Joy Luck Club was one of the few required books I enjoyed in highschool. How was 1,2,3 parenting? Was it magic, because I could use some of that:). My goal for the year was 50 books but I was a little short. I love that the library keeps track for me!!

      The 1-2-3 book was amazing. I need to reread it though! ESSENTIAL!!
      How does the library keep track?! I was trying to remember the library books I had read!
