*Re-reads
Notes/musings:
This was an extraordinarily good book year. I read a lot of really, really good books.
Plz to be ignoring how many times I re-read the Twilight series.
I had a lot of re-reads this year, which is peculiar for me. I would say I'm getting fickle in my old age, but I actually stepped outside my literary lines - that have been created over the past few years - several times this year (and found some excellent books because of it).
List is in no particular order because I scrapped a few books and filled in the holes with actual reads.
As always, if you want a review and/or a discussion, let me know. :)
