2. Most Disappointing Book?
Unfortunately this year, I discovered quite a few of these...particularly in the beginning of the year... Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore - the description sounded fabulous, the book, however, for me, was not. Comeback Love - another that really drew me in with the description, but then I found it was completely political. Ick!
4. Book(s) you recommended to people most in 2013?

Kristin Harmel - I guess she's not technically new, but she is new to me and I absolutely LOVED her book, The Sweetness in Forgetting.
