Books Read in 2013
Feb. 7th, 2014 01:49 pmHere's my list of books read in 2013. Only 95 books this year. 37% were print books, 48% were eBooks, and 15% were audio books. The only one I didn't finish was Jim Hines Libriomancer. I liked the premise and the writing, but just couldn't deal with the vampires. I don't so vampires. I started re-reading some of Barbara Mertz's books, and I'm still working my way through Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan books (that's my lunchtime reading on days I go into the office), and, of course, there's always Georgette Heyer (mostly on audio and in the car). I'm also working on doing re-read's from my shelf of children's books, and try to have one of these going at all times. I tend to be in the midst of five or six books at any given time. This has been a difficult year and I've done more re-reading than I usually do - 51% re-reads and 49% new. I welcome comments.
