Ha--57 books this year. I was trying to see why I didn't read much this year, and I realized why. The second half of the year really messed with me--we had too many trips over the summer/fall, I got thrown into morning sickness, Dane got sick and went into the hospital, and we were really busy the last few months with the holidays and I felt so much pressure to get everything ready/done well. I just couldn't mentally handle a lot of reading. I also didn't spend any energy trying to decide what to read or finding good books that I was actually excited about, so the books I did read were only moderately interesting to me (at least the last six months or so). Almost all of the books that were my favorite this year were from the first half of the year. I feel like it's been forever since I've read anything really GOOD. So, here's to hoping next year's reading will be better--in quality (since I'm sure it won't be better in quantity, adding baby #3 to our family).
Best Fiction: All the Light We Cannot See, The Chosen, Mistborn series (1, 2, and 3)
Best Quick Read: Death Comes to Pemberley
Best Non-fiction: How Will You Measure Your Life?
Best Parenting: No-Drama Discipline, The Collapse of Parenting
All the Light We Cannot See was probably the best book I read this year, followed closely by the Mistborn series (which were so so good)! And I also loved How Will You Measure Your Life? and think about it a lot.
I hope to read some good books that I really love this next year. Here's to hoping!
