Books read in 2012

WOW- I read 57 books in 2012! I don't have lots of extra time for reading, but I've passed up on sleeping to read several nights. I also read on my lunch break at school. January 1. Prairie Tale by Melissa Gilbert ( finished 1-9-12) Wow. I had no idea what her life was like. 2. A Place Called Home by Jo Goodman (finished 1-13-12) It was okay, nothing I'd want to read again. 3. Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins (finished 1-17-12) A good book. Not half as good as The Hunger Games, but I do plan to read the other 4 in this series. Maybe the others are a bit more suspenseful. 4. Gregor and Prophecy of the Bane Book 2 by Suzanne Collins ( finished 1-22-12) I liked this one better than the first. 5. Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods Book 3 by Suzanne Collins ( finished 1-24-12) I'm really liking this series now. 6. Gregor and the Marks of Secret Book 4 by Suzanne Collins ( finished 1-26-12) 7. Gregor and the Secret of the Claw Book 5 by Suzanne Collins ( finished 1-29-12) *****The Passage by Justin Cronin ( I started reading this but couldn't get into it. I was confused after reading the first couple of chapters and decided it was a waste of time.) February 8. The Host by Stephenie Meyer (finished 2-2-12) This book was so different from The Twilight Series, but still very good. It's being made into a movie and is one I plan to go see. 9. Matched by Ally Condie (finished 2-5-2012) Can't wait to read the rest of this trilogy! It's also being made into a movie:) 10. Crossed by Allyson Condie (finished 2-14-12) 11. The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks ( finished 2-23-12) This was an ok read, but it's not one of my favorites from this author. It's not a book I would want to read a second time. March 12. Home by Morning by Alexis Harrington (finished 3-4-2012) 13. A Life of Joy: A Novel ( Kauffman Amish Bakery series) by Amy Clipston 14. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins ( re-read, finished 3-17-12) 15. Ketchup is a Vegetable: and Other Lies Moms Tell Themselves by Robin O'Bryant ( very funny!) April 16.

The Fiddler (Home to Hickory Hollow) by Beverly Lewis ( finished 4-10-12). A typical B. Lewis book. I'm hooked! 20. Among the Hidden by Margaret Peterson Haddix (finished 4-14-12) 21. Among the Imposters by Margaret Peterson Haddix (finished 4-15-12) 22. Among the Betrayed by Margaret Peterson Haddix ( finished 4-15-2012) These are fairly short books and are written on a teen level so they're quick reads. 23. Among the Barons by Margaret Peterson Haddix ( finished 4-15-12) 24. Among the Brave by Margaret Peterson Haddix ( finished 4-17-12) 25. Among the Enemy by Margaret Peterson Haddix ( finished 4-19-12) 26. Among the Free by Margaret Peterson Haddix ( finished 4-20-12) 27.

Big Decisions Book 3 by Linda Byler 31. Keys to the Castle by Donna Ball June 32. Save Me by Lisa Scottoline ( I've never read anything by this author before, but I have a feeling she's going to become a favorite of mine.) 33. Escape by Carolyn Jessop ( This is the biography of the woman that escaped a polygamist family with her 8 children.) 34. Triumph: Life After the Cult- A Survivor's Lesson by Carolyn Jessop 35. Dear America (The Diary of Lydia Amelia Pierce) Like the Willow Tree by Lois Lowry. This book is young adult historical fiction, but I've liked every Dear America book I've ever read. 36.

Misconception by Paul and Shannon Morell ( This is the couple whose embryo was accidentally implanted into another woman) 39.

Confessions of a Prarie %*$#@: How I Survived Nellie Oleson and Learned to Love Being Hated by Alison Arngrim (Loved this!) 41. A Rare Titanic Family The Caldwell's Story of Survival by Julie Hedgepeth Williams ( I only read the part about their time on the Titanic. I thought the other information was boring and skipped over it. I read maybe 1/4 of this book.) 42.
