2012 is coming to an end and I am quite proud (yes, I don’t keep my expectations too high) at the amount of books I read this year! My college being at strike helped, of course, but I still had to study a lot even when I had no classes, which means a good part of the 29 books I managed to read is still on me, I guess.
Here is the list, with a rating on the side of each title:
- Nas Profundezas (The 39 Clues, Book 6), Jude Watson – 5/5

- One Day, David Nicholls – 5/5
- Mr. Maybe, Jane Green – 1/5

Whoa, you’ve read a lot in 2012! My total was miserables twelve books. Just sad. I hope 2013 brings a more focused-in-books Amanda – and less in Facebook, fgs.
There are many books in your list that I want to read. The Great Gasbty, The Hobbit (which I already have, but my fiancée stoled to read), More Baths, Less Talking… Hope I have time to all of them!
Happy New Year for you, Mari!
I hope 2013 will come bringing you a lot of successful reading! Happy New Year, Amanda! 😀
I am profoundly ashamed of my number of books read in 2012. You are a reading machine. Oh, and I’ve started The Great Gatsby and I’m LOVING it. Everything is so wonderfully described, I am in awe.
Can’t wait to see what 2013 is gonna bring you book wise… 🙂 gonna stay tuned for you blog reviews!
“You are a reading machine” hahaha I try my best XD I knew you’d love it, it’s so beautifully, perfectly written! And it has such strong symbolism!
I’m so excited about 2013! I know I won’t be able to read as much as I used to because of college, but I still hope to strike some books off my unread list 😉
I’ve Got Your Number was so good, wasn’t it? It was a favorite of mine too, definitely!
It was!!! I had been long waiting for another Sophie Kinsella book and finished it in two days in the middle of college tests haha
Acho que só consegui ler tantos livros em 2012 por causa da greve da UFPE… Vou tentar ler novamente 50 livros esse ano, mas com o TCC acho meio difícil. Legal que muitos dos livros que você leu esse estão na minha lista de favoritos, temos gostos um pouco parecidos! 😀
Eu também devo muito dessa lista à greve haha E tenho o mesmo problema: um TCC pela frente, com a OAB como bônus ):
Quais dos que eu li estão entre os teus favoritos? Fiquei curiosa! (:
