Books To Read In 2013

Updated Feb 1st

My pinterest board of books read in 2013
http://pinterest.com/htruck/100-books-in-2013/

My main goal for reading in 2013 is to read BETTER books. Last year I read so much that was just filler and fluff..  which I am ok with, but at the end of the year there were not many that had made any real impact on me.

Some of the books on my to read list for 2013 Include:

1. The Anatomists Apprentice by Tessa Harris
2. Lady Almina & The Real Downton Abbey
3. The Feast Nearby by Robin Mather
4. The Orphanmaster by Jean Zimmerman
5. Flowers For Algernon by Daniel Keyes
6. The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin
7. Cleaning House: A Mom's 12 Month Experiment to Rid Her House Of Entitlement
8. Becoming Fearless by Michelle Aguilar
9. The Hero's Guide To Saving The Universe by Christopher Healey
10. Let. It. Go. by Karen Ehman
11. Unglued by Lysa Terkeurst
12. What happens when Women Say Yes To God by Lysa Terkeurst
13. 21 Days To A More Disciplined Life - Crystal Paine
14. Confessions Of A Teenage Sleuth by Chealsea Cain
15. Cross Roads by William Paul Young
16. The Enchanted April by Elizabeth Von Arnim
17. The Death Of Bees by Lisa O'Donnell
18. A Year Of Biblical Womanhood by Rachel Held Evans

The Twelve Tribes of Hattie WAS on my to read list, but I just saw it was an Oprah Book Club Choice, so I deleted it.  I never like anything Oprah likes to read!

I LOVE this challenge!
