The Best Books I Read in 2012

I had time to read in 2012. Apparently, lots of time. I read 85 books (YA and big people). Now that the little one is here, it does not look like I will have much time in 2013 to read, as I have only read two books so far, but I am trying.
Below is a list of my favorites from 2012. They are in no particular order.


Divergent and Insurgent by Veronica Roth


 The Hunger Games and Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (I didn't love Mockingjay enough to reread it)


The Girls by Lori Lansens


Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn 


 Love, Aubrey by Suzanne LeFleur


Miseducation of Cameron Post by Emily Danforth


The Year Money Grew On Trees by Aaron Hawkins


The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart


One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia


Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren


Powerless by Matthew Cody


Ninth Ward by Jewell Parker Rhodes


 The Tortilla Curtain by T.C. Boyle


 The Road by Cormac McCarthy
