Another year has come and gone, and unfortunately I didn’t hit my target of 26 books. I’m not incredibly surprised, though I am disappointed I didn’t get to some of the books I had set aside for the year. It was another moving-across-the-country year, coming back to the Oklahoma City area from Santa Fe, and that process wound up eating a lot of time. I also got back into my comic series this past fall, so I’ve spent much more time with ink pens than novels the past four months!

2014 Favorites:

• NOS4A2 by Joe Hill
• Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman
• Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk
• Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell

My hope for 2015 is a solid 25 books. Wish me luck!

One minute you’re sending out Christmas cards, the next you’re eating fondue for Valentine’s Day. Happy February, book lovers! I haven’t had a chance to reflect on 2013 much since I finished Bossypants, my 25th book of the year and the completion of my resolution to read 25 books. 2013 was a very successful year in many ways, and I discovered some excellent books.

My favorites of the year:

• Horns by Joe Hill
• Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson
• The Shining by Stephen King
• The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
• American Gods by Neil Gaiman
• The Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale.

For 2014, my goal is to read 26 books. I managed 25 this time around, what’s one more?
