Every Book I Read in 2013



Taking a cue from some of my fellow bookworms and authors (in particular, Matt Bell, who read an impressive 113 books this past year), I thought I'd share my entire book log from 2013.  I've already posted the statistics from my reading year, but here's the meat which belongs on those mathematical bones.  A couple of other notes: 28 of the 81 books were written by women, 35 were published in 2013, 11 were published before 2000, and four won't be published until 2014.  I've included novella-length stories and children's books because they also figured into the annual tally.

    1. Yes, but Carol....126 books! You've got me beat.
      And there are many titles on your list which are in my TBR pile, including, Cascade, The Painted Girls, Jane Smiley's Dickens, Wake, The Tilted World and The Snow Child. Maybe in 2014. Or 2015, 2016, or 2017.....
