Year in Review: 2013
Wow! Best reading year ever! I started with setting my goal to 50, but ending up challenging myself to read 200 books. I didn't make it to 200, but I read 192 works including the King James Bible! I'm shamelessly impressed with myself. Now, I read a lot of fairy-tales which are often published as a single volume and I have listed these separately to keep track of which of the Hans Christian Andersen and Grimm Brother's stories I have read. I did read 94 "proper" books. I will not be able to repeat last year's high tide now that I am no longer a student and have -- seemingly -- joined the world of The Grown Ups tum, tum, tum, but I'll make an effort to read at least 25 books.
To Read: Coffee at Luke's: An Unauthorized Gilmore Girls Gabfest by Jennifer Crusie
I grew up watching Gilmore Girls with my mother and my best friend M., and every autumn I (try to) re-watch the entire series. There is just something about red, green, and orange leaves that makes me long for Amy Sherman-Palladino's fast and witty dialogue.
So now that Bunheads is officially cancelled, I needed a fix to my GG addiction.
