Books Read in 2012

If I don’t count audiobooks, I read 60 books this year: if I add them, the total comes to 78.  The 60 total is a little less than last year (due probably to playing games on my iPhone during times I would normally have been reading. :oops:), but I am pleased with the overall totals and the variety.
