My Year in Lists: Books Read in 2013.

For posterity's sake, I always like to save my annual reading and concert lists to this blog.  I used Goodreads to take screenshots of the 31 books that I read in 2013.  They are in reverse order from last read to first read.

Of the books I read, I'm going to pick the top five most amazing reads of the group (in no order).

- Salt, Sugar, Fat by Michael Moss (an amazing look into how the food industry manipulates the consumer to make unhealthy choices)

- February by Lisa Moore (an amazing novel about loss)

- My Maasai Life by Robin Wiszowaty (a fascinating book about how a woman immerses herself in Massai culture in Kenya)

- The Spark by Kristine Barnett (a story of how a mother was able to help her son escape a grave diagnosis of non-verbal autism, to become a physics genius as a teenager)

- A House in the Sky by Amanda Lindhout (a gripping read about how a young woman goes from being an avid adventure traveler to being kidnapped by extremists in Somalia for 460 days)
