My 5 star books from 2012

I read 40 books in 2012 which is a new record for me. I think this is because I listened to a lot more books on my iPod which allowed me to be a book nerd and a productive member of society at the same time :) I'm also surprised by how many non-fiction books I read because usually those aren't my thing--look at me growing up.

Here are the books I read in 2012 that you should definitely read in 2013:

The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin

Daughter's in My Kingdom: The History and Work of Relief Society

Radioactive: Marie and Pierre Curie, A Tale of Love and Fallout by Lauren Redniss

Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea by Barbara Demick

An Exact Replica of a Figment of my Imagination by Elizabeth McCracken
