Book wise, 2012 was a great year. Plenty of new authors to explore. Lots of sequels. But 2012 books were not without their missteps as well. Here is a break down of my 2012 reading experience.

The Run Down:

The Crown of Embers (Fire and Thorns #2) by Rae Carson
Born Wicked (The Cahill Witch Chronicles #1) by Jessica Spotswood

Not a bad total if I say so myself. Although, I wish I had read more, I am pleased with what I got done.
