My Favourites of 2012!!

What an amazing year in books! My shelves are overflowing and my Kindle has so many books on it that I've lost count. 2012 was such a great year for me reading-wise because I discovered Contemporary Romance novels. My Contemporary kick started off with The Vincent Boys by Abbi Glines, and I never looked back. Thus, my TBR of fantasy/paranormal books was sorely neglected.

The funny thing is that every book that I was anticipating to read in 2012, I didn't read! Maybe because they were all fantasy novels and 2012 was all about Contemporary Romance for me. Go ahead and check out my Favourites of 2011 for a refresher in what I read and loved in 2011.

As for 2012, well, I fell in love, I had my heart broken, I cried, I sulked, and I laughed. That's what I love so much about books; I am always being affected in some way by a well-written story.
