One of my goals for 2012 was to read more. Last year around this time, I was feeling like some sort of statistic – you know, featured in all those doomsday articles you see online about how people don’t read anymore. Then my colleagues gifted me a Kindle Fire
I read 7 books in 2011. (I’m defining “read” loosely here, since 4 were audiobooks.) I was hoping to read at least 12 in 2012, and I was able to (slightly) exceed my goal! So without further ado, here is the list of non-crafty books I read in 2012.

I found out about many of these books through Wednesday’s Yarn Along with Small Things. I’m looking for more books to read in 2013, and I’m always interested in finding more recommendations on Goodreads, so feel free to stop by my profile page and add me to your friends!
