My 2013 Books

These are the books that I finished in 2013.  I don't force myself to finish bad books. Life is too short and there are too many books out there that I want to read. :)  The ones rated one star were usually bad but either not bad enough to totally give up on or bad enough that they were unintentionally funny.
