With the new year fast coming up, I thought I'd recap 2013, the most bookish year in the history of me.

With the new year fast coming up, I thought I'd recap 2013, the most bookish year in the history of me.

365 Days of Books: March 2013

With the new year fast coming up, I thought I'd recap 2013, the most bookish year in the history of me. March is my birth month, but despite that I rarely receive books as gifts - rare as in it's only happened once, when my brother got me a copy of The Book Thief for Christmas last year. I'm hoping he'll do it again this year, but I'm not expecting because he's not anymore a fan of my books taking over the living room. But enough of that - on to the books!
