So, hello. O_O
It's been a long time since I posted here and I'm so sorry. One of my resolutions this year was to definitely begin posting regularly. I have a few reviews on my other blog, but they're incomplete for the most part and I'd rather start 2014 fresh anyway.
But before I start 2014, I would like to talk about all of 2013's reads. I'm borrowing Kan's formula for this post both because I really liked it and because I had no idea where to begin talking about this.
My Stats:
Goodreads Challenge: 163/160 (Original challenge: 50)
2013 was a hard year for me as well. I lost my grandfather to Alzheimer's back in July and I haven't quite been the same since.
Books read: 164
I started re-reading Harry Potter at the end of last year, which is why it's 164 instead of 163. I didn't count it though because I considered the challenge over when I finished the last new book I read last year (which was the Adventure Time Encyclopedia, in case you're interested)
Pages read: 44,516, give or take a Harry Potter book
Books reviewed: 44, but I only posted ONE to the blog. =T That needs remedying.
Best books I read in 2013:
The Lies of Locke LamoraLemony Snicket's books

Books I'm still not sure how to feel about that I read in 2013:
Attachments by Rainbow Rowell- I loved Fangirl, but this one left me thinking about all the problems I had with it.
Infernal Devices by K.W. Jeter
- I gave this a high rating because I did enjoy it, but I also realized that it was a bit... off in some places.
Light Boxes by Shane Jones
- This seemed to be formatted similarly to Delicacy, but I didn't enjoy it as much. It wasn't bad though.
Middlesex by Jeffery Eugenides
- I was really bored for almost all of this book.
Blankets by Craig Thompson
- The art was beautiful and parts of the story hit close to home, but there was something uncomfortable about seeing how invested he was in Raina.
Adverbs by Daniel Handler
- I'm a huge fan of Lemony Snicket so I wanted to try a Handler book. =/ I'm not entirely sure what happened, but I might've started in the wrong place.
Pawn of Prophecy by David Eddings
- I have a whole review written up about this one. I should post it here sometime.
Hotel Iris: A Novel by Yoko Ogawa
- If it weren't for the relationship (which is all I will say to avoid spoilers), I would've liked this so much more. As it is though, it made me very uncomfortable in some places.
