Happy New Years to you all! Thanks again for following. Below you will find my wrap-up post for 2012.
This year I ended up reading 253 books, that is less than 2011 where I read 288 books. I was actually trying to read a bit less and do more other stuff this year...so my goal was 250 books which I hit. So it was a great year for reading. You can go to the full list of books read here. I have also broken them down into category below by genre and age group.
I focused mostly on book reviews (5 per week) and blog hops this year. Because of time constraints I wasn't able to do as many author interviews.

Fantasy: 60
Urban Fantasy/Paranormal: 96
Steampunk: 16
Dystopian/Post-Apocalyptic: 23
Science Fiction: 9

Best of 2012 - Fantasy
I read a ton of really wonderful fantasy books this year. Most of them were middle grade and young adult fantasy book; not by design...but it was just a really great year for YA fantasy. Of all the below there is only one book that is adult only and that is the Riyria Revelations series by Michael J. Sullivan...this is also an excellent series but only appropriate for adult and older.
Anyway I hope you enjoy the list and maybe find something on it that sounds interesting.
