2012 Books

I read 109 books in 2012...

 * 100 by female authors
* 9 by male authors
Most read male author: James Patterson - 5 books
Second: Michael Palmer - 2 books

Most read female author: Susan Mallery - 11 books
Second: Carly Phillips - 8 books

Most popular female authors after the top 2:

Emily March - 6 books
Brenda Novak - 6 books

Robyn Carr - 5 books

Nora Roberts - 4 books
JoAnn Ross - 4 books

Sheryyl Woods - 3 books

Kristin Hannah - 2 books
Iris Johansen - 2 books
Karin Slaughter - 2 books

 Mallery and Phillips are long-time authors that I just started reading this year, that's why I read so many of their books.

 You can tell by my most-read authors this year that I spent a lot of time reading romance books. It's not usually a genre that I focus on THAT much, but for some reason, these books spoke to me this year. Perhaps because I just celebrated my 25th anniversary and romance is always good?

 Of course, you can't put Johansen or Slaughter in the romance category. Suspense and drama all the way with those two.

 Patterson has had some good books this year. I had kind of gotten bored with his books over the last year or two because they just weren't as good. His Alex Cross series is still my favorite.

 Now it's on to 2013. My first book this year is A Home of Her Own by Brenda Novak. Trying to finish up her Dundee, Idaho series.

 My goal for this year is to read at least one more book than last year, so 110 + books, here I come!

What's Good

Here's what's good right now: 1. Corby's OKAY after an accident at work today! He was on the forklift pulling onto a truck when the truck driver pulled away from the dock apparently to reallign himself (WHAT AN IDIOT DRIVER!!!) and he fell off the dock. Thank goodness there is a roll-bar on those forklifts. He has a headache and will probably be stiff tomorrow, but says he is okay. They sent him for a drug test. It's their policy if someone has an accident at work. 2. Feeling much better. I'm about 75% well now. Still have a cough and some sinus issues, but I think I'll survive. 3. Spending today with Kaleb & Kaitlin. 4. Having such good kids. Leeker's just called Kaitlin to see if she'd work longer hours today. They have a lot of employees out sick. She was supposed to work 4-8, but volunteered to work 2-9. Here's a pat on the back hon! 5. Enjoying some Josh Groban music. 6. Cleaning out my file cabinet and getting ready for 2008. I know, I...
