Hub Stories: Forty Books - Baltimore, MD - 2013

I'm not sure if you remember THIS POST, but over the last year reading became a sort of competitive sport around our house.  It started as a project based in curiosity, but when all was said and done, I honestly sit dumbfounded and sincerely impressed at how the Hub has stepped out of his comfort zone and broadened his love of books and reading.  As of December 31, 2012 the Hub finished his 40th book.

He read mysteries, and history, thrillers and biographies.  He read Popular fiction and The Classics.  He even stuck his toe into the waters of my silly "chick lit".

Least Favorite: The Hunger Game series. I read them “just because”, and at the end I was like “just kill them and get married already”.

His Favorite: 1776. I’ve read this book several times and I always take something away from it that I didn't know before. Plus, it’s one of those books that I can’t put down.

Although he says he doesn't have any specific reading goals for 2013, I, the biggest thief of books off of his reading list, am interested in, and excited for what this years reading will bring!

Till next time,

Bon Voyage!
