Yearly Wrap-up: 2012

Ah, 2012, you have been such a wondrous year for me as far as my favorite hobby goes. During 2012, I fell in love--several times--with new authors, new stories, and new characters (especially yummy new boys!!). I fell back in love with old favorites. I was saddened to say goodbye to old AND new friends as I completed several series like the Hush, Hush trilogy quadrilogy, Paranormalcy, The Iron Fey, The Graceling Realm, Hex Hall and more, but I was also super excited to discover growing series and future book deals, many by the authors who were saying goodbye in one sense. I mean, Fitzpatrick has a new book in the works. White has TWO set for relase in 2013 with more in the making. Kagawa's rocking a spin-off and an entirely new series. Hawkins is doing a spin-off. And don't forget all the other releases that 2013 has in promise, sequels and prequels and stand-alones included! Who said the end always has to be sad? Just because you've finished a great book doesn't mean you can never pick it back up! 2013 is going to be great and I can't wait to share it here!

Check out my 2012 reading list below.

    1. I had a lot of free time this past year, and I think 45 is a great number!
