Here's my 5th annual report on my favorite books this year. I can't of course choose just one (I did read 334 after all) Check out the 2008, 2009,2010, 2011, and 2012 posts. It's a mix of kids. tween, teen, and adult books. These are the books I've read this year and not only 2013 books. Also there are several books I could have used for many categorizes, but I chose not to duplicate them too much because there were SO many great books that I read this year. All of them hold a place in my heart! Enjoy the list!

What were your favorite reads of 2013?

I don't even know what to do with this giant list, except pledge to read more in 2014. Side note: I love Kristan Higgins, it's such a guilty pleasure.
I love a lot of the books on this list! And few are on my TBR pile! It's really nice to see Taste Test on your list, it is a really fun book and it seems like not many people have read it. A few of my mom's favorite books are on here too! :)
