What was the best book you read in 2012?
-
Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein
-
I can't wait to hear what others have to say! I can't even remember what I read...
-
The Night Circus!
-
the light between oceans --- SO GOOD. It's set in the past (I think the turn of the century?).... this man (lighthouse keeper) and his wife live on an isolated island all alone... they try to have a baby but she has miscarriage after miscarriage. Then, a baby shows up on the shore with a man dead inside the boat. They struggle with the decision to either report it or keep the baby as their own and see it as a sign from God. It was riveting and heartbreaking as a mom-to-be myself.

Gone Girl
-
@zippylef: @char54: @MamaMoose: I second all three of these! I LOVED all of those books! I also really loved Cinder, by Marissa Meyer, and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, by Ransom Riggs.
-
@mamamoose: totally agree! i was totally obsessed with this book.
-
@MamaMoose: Oooh, I actually read that one too. I really liked it!
-
I tracked everything that I read in 2012 on goodreads. Good-bye Jimmy Choo was fun, Fire Dancer, Hypocrite in a Pouffy White Dress: Tales of Growing up Groovy and Clueless , Mosaic, and The Note were all really good books.
I read 278 books last year.

Cutting For Stone by Abraham Verghese
-
@Bookworm: @lisa1783: @zippylef: Gone Girl was so messed up but so good!!!
-
@MaisyMay: Wow, that's awesome that you read so many!! I applaud you
Umm... I'm so ashamed to admit that I haven't read a book (non-baby related) since LO was born
So sad. I absolutely adore reading too, and nothing makes me happier than curling up with a good book & cup of hot tea.
-
@MungBean: I'm a really fast reader.
-
@MaisyMay: I'm on goodreads too! Though I only read about 50 last year
-
@MamaMoose: UGH. I hated that book! Almost as much as I hated Eat Pray Love.
I liked Killing Lincoln. I haven't read much this year but that was a good one.
-
@MaisyMay: Wow!!! I wish I had the time to read that much. I love Goodreads too
-
@Bookworm: Only 50?! I think I read MAYBE 7 haha. So bad. I really do love to read, I just need to find the time.
-
@Bao: Haha well, once I got pregnant I figured I should read as many as humanly possible because I know when baby comes it'll be no more reading time for me!! So I might have read a freakish amount haha!!
-
@mediagirl: my mom hated it too so you're not alone!
@Bookworm: I actually do some good reading on my kindle while nursing so there's a little time for reading once baby comes : )
-
@MamaMoose: So there's hope!! I have a Kindle so I'll just have to fill it up before July
-
I've only reread Pride and Prejudice since my son was born 9.5 months ago. I love reading but just have no time. P&P was sitting on my nightstand for some reason, and I just decided to read it one night when my son went to bed early and my husband was gone. I keep hearing good things about Gone Girl, though, so I'd like to try and squeeze it in at some point.
-
The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and Everneath by Brodi Ashton
-
@MamaMoose: I have that on my library wait list! Only, oh, 300 something people before me. Sigh.
-
oooh I have to add some of these to my to-read list!!
-
@Bookworm: My LO is 5 1/2 weeks old and I've already read 24 books this year. I read while pumping and when LO is napping.
-
A Casual Vacancy, J.K. Rowling! Loved it!
-
insurgent!
-
Gone Girl was SO good. I read it in the tub over two baths...I couldn't put it down!
-
@char54: WAH my library doesn't have it
@zippylef: on my wait list!
@Mrs. Cowgirl: sounds kinda like Hunger Games. Is it hard to follow?
So sad. I absolutely adore reading too, and nothing makes me happier than curling up with a good book & cup of hot tea.
