I read many wonderful books this year! From theological to even a few children's books, I enjoyed almost all of them. 

I read Jerry Bridges writings for the first time. I LOVED them. He has such a simple yet convicting way of saying things. I'm looking forward to reading them again soon, and hopefully getting more books written by him!

Of course, I went with the masses and read The Hunger Games series. And of course, I really liked them. I found them thoroughly entertaining, and as a bonus, they were the subject of discussion with friends and caused me to think about my convictions, why we do what we do, wrong vs. right, etc. I'll always take more of that!

Technopoly was both amazing and frustrating at the same time. Neil Postman has some darn good points and I completely agree with him. BUT, he isn't a Christian and it is quite evident at times.

As far as fiction goes, Against the Tide is my favorite book of 2012. I was truly sad when I had finished it. I just adored, well, everything about it. 

Wordsmithy. Oh, Wordsmithy. I've read you at least 3 times and I will continue to read you for the rest of my life. So good. So many wonderful lessons in this one. Go buy it - now.

And these are just a few thoughts about a few of the books I read! In 2013 I hope to focus on the classics. I've heard so much about many of them and I can't wait to read these extraordinary works of art.
