Of course I'm starting with books!

Books...everyone knows they're my drug of choice. Nothing makes my day better than just being surrounded by them. The library and my local bookstore are two of my favorite places to be. Books calm me when nothing else can. Books make me happy when all else fails. I constantly have at least one book with me at all times. They are in stacks in every room of my house. Even my roommate's have to share space with my books as they are also residing in their bedrooms. A crazy concept to a lot of people, but books are my friends. So it shouldn't be a shock that my first top 5 list is all about books. I'm hoping to keep this one list, but who knows...the one list just might spawn sublists. I'm keeping the option open.


So without further ado...my Top 5 favorite reads of 2013 (in a completely random order because I couldn't actually rank them):

No Apologies Here

It's been months since I last posted anything. Since April to be exact. And I can't apologize for that. There have definitely been times when I thought about dropping a thought or two on the 3 people who actually read this, but well, in all honesty, I just haven't had the time.

See, the purpose of my creating this blog was to force myself to get a life (and hopefully document that life) and well, I found myself with a great life this year. It was busy, full of excitement and a lot of firsts. But because the year is winding down and I'm starting to miss this year (though definitely looking forward to next) I figured I'd fill you in on a little of the excitement....in the form of my Top 5 (or Top 5s as there will be more than one list). So over the course of the afternoon I'll be spilling my guts about the best things that happened to me this year. And believe me when I say I REALLY had to work to pare the lists down to 5! It really has been a great year.
