Books Read in 2013

I didn't really have any reading goals last year and I think that showed in some of the choices and my total numbers. I used my Kindle a lot (obviously) and was sort of at the mercy of what was available through there. Eventually, I made it back to the library because I was craving the tactile aspect of reading. For the last half of the year, I read both electronically and physically. While I love the ease of a Kindle, I'll never be able to give up books all together.

Only 31 books but 31 more than if I hadn't read any, right? I need to do more reading this year. More quality reading. A degree in English means I should probably challenge myself more in the literary world.
