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!

Margaritaville!

We had a wonderful get-together at On the Border this afternoon. The margaritas were great! Of course, I was the only one drinking - and I'm not even much of a drinker. It was great seeing my niece, Lenore and my nephew, Nick. Even though Nick lives here, I don't get to see him much, as his work hours prevent us from seeing much of each other. We did make a pact to get together and see a movie over the Thankgiving holiday. We will be going to Oklahoma on Thanksgiving to spend it with Charles, but I'll have to come back Thanksgiving night as I have to work on Friday. Here are some pictures from our afternoon out. Kaleb with Nick (Brandon provided Kaleb's rabbit ears)... Kaitlin and Brandon Mom, Terry, Sandy and Lenore Lenore and Mike Ryan and Diana Diana in her Garth t-shirt (I can't wait until tomorrow night!) Me with my sister Rhonda Mom and Lenore THE WHOLE CREW minus me - I'd rather be taking the picture! We are childless tonight, as Brandon went to a concert...
