Books read 2013

Here's what I read in 2013. I also managed to get hold of a couple of books from my childhood, which are shown in the photo. My favourite books of the year included the graphic novel Robot Dreams by Sara Vardon, which made me cry, and The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, which had beautiful descriptive language and some great twists. I also hugely enjoyed reading the Montalbano books by Andrea Camilleri during some lovely summer weather - I felt transported to Sicily.
