Books I Read in 2013

And it's time for my annual post of the Book I read in the last year. I made it through 61 books total, 4 more than last year. Which I think isn't too bad because I have been in school since September and only found the time to read 9 since then.

Looking back at my list, I read through a lot of Christian books and a bunch by LDS authors. I find that I don't have time to read through smutty books like I used to. I read a lot of series and found some awesome new authors.

My favorite book of the year.... The Book of Mormon

I was able sneak in 3 reads of this one again this year. I learned some wonderful new insights from my Institute class I took this last semester (and developed a love and respect for Isaiah, even though I still don't understand a lot of what he is saying). I'm looking forward to my next semester of Book of Mormon 2.

My favorite series of the year... The Great and Terrible Series by Chris Stewart

I devoured this series! Written by an LDS author giving a view of Premortal life and the end of days. It gave me quite a few things to think about (and increased my desire to get my food storage acquired.) 

Favorite new (to me) author of the year... Sarah Jio

I was looking for a specific book on the shelf at the library and this one just popped out to me. I tore through it and quickly got her other 2 novels available at my library. Checking her website, I see there are two more that I need to request.
