“There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.” ― Joseph Brodsky
I sorted through all the books that I read during the past twelve months. Some are new titles; some are classics. Some LGBT. Many horror (especially zombie-related). And I even read two non-fiction titles. (Don't ask me how that happened.) Forty-four books in all. From that pile, I've created three lists of my favorite reads from 2012. Without further ado....

Thanks for your lists.
I am always on the lookout for some new reads and love when people share their favorites.
I'll be checking some of these out.
Great recommendations I am sure. I wish I could say I read 20 books in 2012. There is a resolution in the making for 2013.
