At the beginning of the year I set a goal to read 100 books. Since I hit 102 books read in 2012, I figured I could easily do that again, especially with all of my kids in school at least part of the time. Ha! I really thought I would have more time when my kids got older. Joke’s on me, I guess. :)

I have nine more books to read before New Year’s Day to meet my goal. I think I’ll tackle the 39 Clues series. They’re pretty quick reads, right? Wish me luck!

In no particular order, here are my favorite reads of 2013:
