A visual review of what I read last year. In years past I've always had a theme to go along with my readings, (A-Z, local authors, fav genre, a set number to reach, etc). I toyed with a few ideas for this years theme but never specifically decided until about half way through the year. I looked at what I was reading, and for me, it was stuff out of my comfort zone. Not my normal reads.
So 2012's theme ended up being 'the unexpected'.
You can see my Goodreads list of 2012 here. You can see some of my thoughts on them there. I'm trying to catch up on my ratings and reviews, I like to let the book settle a little before I rate/review it.

Wow! Way to go! I wish I had the time to read that many books in a year. It'd make my TBR list a lot tinier.
From your list, I've read:
. Time Traveler's Wife - eh
. With a Name Like Love - loved it
. Pride & Prejudice - loved it
. Clockwork Prince - loved it; favorite of her books
. Anna Dressed in Blood - loved it
I'm currently reading City of Lost Souls and it's killing me!
My favorite read of 2012 was Everbound. Although I did also love rereading all the Harry Potters. And, I loved The Savage Grace and Pride & Prejudice.
I love that you reread HP so often. I am collecting a small handful of books that are in my 'if I ever reread' pile. :)
