~Favorite Books from 2012

I’m so behind on my planned posts, that I haven’t posted what I read in 2012 yet. Pathetic, I know. Granted, I’ve been sick – but since that never seems to stop anyone else posting, I’m not sure what a great excuse that is. So… one of my goals last year was to read more books. Despite moving twice and a rather unsettling year, I did manage to read more books that the year before. So, here’s my list of what I actually finished reading. I was going to give  a list of them all… but more than 25 titles made far too long a post! Here instead are 12 of my favorites. If there’s anything anyone would like to see me review, let me know. The one’s already reviewed, I’ll link to their posts.

~The Heavens Declare by Perry Kirkpatrick (formerly Willis) – A sweet book that incorporates facts about astronomy with the story of a family’s vacation. Review Here

~The Curate’s Awakening by George MacDonald – I loved this one! There are a few things I disagree with, but overall it was good. Review Here.

~The Musician’s Guide to Playing Music by Ear – Good book to read as a musician.

~The Lady’s Confession by George MacDonald – Another good book by Mr. MacDonald! This one was deep, full of discussions involving atheism versus Christianity. I need to review this one… I didn’t realize that I hadn’t done that.

~Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson – A very intriguing, well written mystery. A little dark at times, but worth the reading. Review Here.

~The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie – Another good Agatha Christie mystery. Better written than 4:50 from Paddington. Review Here.

~Here We Come by Chautona Havig – The third in the Aggie’s Inheritance Series. I need to review this one too. Let’s just say that I enjoyed it as much as the others!

~The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie – One of my favorites by Agatha Christie. Monsieur Poirot made his debut here. Review coming this week, LORD willing.

~Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Jules Verne – One of my new favorites! Way better than the movie I saw! I need to get a copy for my hope chest!

~Finding the Core of Your Story by Jordan Smith – A really helpful book for writing loglines. Review planned – after I finish reading the second edition.

~Everard by Chautona Havig – This book now rivals the Aggie’s Inheritance Series as my favorite by Mrs. Havig. Review Here.

~Manuscript for Murder by Chautona Havig – Mrs. Havig’s first published mystery! I really enjoyed it. Review Here.
