A deceptively easy question for this week (easy to ask but possibly hard to answer): What are/were your favorite book(s) of the year? (Bonus points if you know how many books you read.) – BTT
As of today, I’ve read 64 books this year. I am in the process of finishing one more. I am going to do a much longer post about the favourites of 2012, but as follows are a couple of highlights from the year: The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami, and Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. There are more, but I’ll make a proper post next week or so about it.
What were your reading favourites of 2012?

Little Women is one of my favorite books. Love it! I’ll be doing a wrap-up post next week. It’s nice to go back and revisit what I’ve read, liked and disliked.

Hi Holly! I think it’s always good to look back and note what you liked and didn’t like, also new authors and series. Thanks!

Hi Valentina! One of my friends loved it and it forced me to read it and it was great. It’s really for those of us who love fantasy and magic books with a side of romance of course. Thabnks for commenting!

I loved The Night Circus too – I read it last year, but re-read it this year.

Little Women is definitely one of my all time faves, although I didn’t read it this year. Looking forward to seeing your full list 🙂

Hi Crystal! It was my first time and I loved it too. I hope to get it up soon, but I’m recovering the flu so everything planned is behind schedule now. Thanks for commenting!
