A Summary of 2012

I guess I'll start of with the beginning of my blog.  Only this February did I create this and since then, it's just been a whole bunch of fun.  I can tell you right now that my reviewing has greatly improved from when I first began (mostly because I had no idea what I was doing) and I've met so many great and amazing fellow reviewers and authors, as well.  It's been a blessing to be a member of this community and I cannot wait to continue this experience for many years to come.

So . . . in all of 2012, I have read a total of 128 books and gave 53 of those five-star ratings.  Maybe I just love books so much?  But, while all those books were worthy of the 5 star review, I do happen to have a few that really stick out in my mind.
