55 Books in 2012 Recap

OK, so I actually read 65 books in 2012...hence the new goal of 65 for 2013...Goodreads thinks I read 67 books, but really. I cannot count "The Little Mermaid" and "The Strange Case of Finley Jayne" as whole books. Thanks Goodreads for helping me rediscover my love of reading in 2011 and for helping me come to terms with the fact that not all good books have to be literature in 2012!
