Books Read in 2012 (100+ Personal Challenge)
Books Read in 2012
100+ Personal Challenge
I will keep track of all the books I read this year here be they fiction or non-fiction. My personal goal is 100+. I wanted to join a group but found the ones I looked at didn't allow audio books, or only allowed fiction. I will be reading a mixture of books and wish to count them all.

March - December
Well, this has been a very interesting year for us. The kids lived with us for 8 months, which was quite a life changing event but one I wouldn't change for anything. My husband and I have both had medical issues this year as well which slowed me down. And now my 87 year old father is in need of care for a broken arm. But God is good and he is seeing us through. God willing dad will gain his strength back and achieve his goal of returning home.
Even with all this I managed to read 81 books this year, quite a few short of my goal of 100 but many more than I thought I'd get to.
I did not post them here and I won't go back and try to put them in. However I kept track of them at Goodreads on my 2012 shelf. If you would like to view the list this is the link:
