List of Books I Read In 2013

So much happened in twenty-thirteen
for weeks at a time a book in my hand went unseen!
It’s all now a blur
and I’m left with this list,
and a life as a voyager.

[Err, there’s my cheesy attempt at rhyme.]
And here is my list of the books I read.

Over the summer I reread the Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles series as well as Stephen Chbosky’s Perks of Being A Wallflower.  I wanted to see if I’d still like them as an adult as opposed to a teen. I still do.

I don’t want to finish out this year with out having read at least two more. We’ll see how that goes.

Of course all of these books can be found on Amazon.
