2012 Favorite Books

2012 was a good year for books. Looking back, my 3 most favorites were:

• "Unaccustomed Earth: Stories" by Jhumpa Lahiri
• "The Dog Stars" by Peter Heller
• "Round House" by Louise Erdrich

I read all three of these later in the year, and in a row. What a great couple of weeks that was! In addition, I also liked the following:

• "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin
