BEA Spotlight: Books Read from 2012


So at the end of last year's BEA I had quite a few books!  I still have quite a few to read, but let's look at my STATS.

From Tuesday:
Total Books: 25
Read: 10
DNF'ed: 3
Traded: 4
Previously Read: 3
Books Left: 5
Favorite Book: TOUCH OF POWER by Maria V. Snyder, not terribly surprising since I love her books, but this departure from her previous fantasy world (starring Yelena and later Opal) hit its stride much earlier than the "Study" books did.
Least Favorite: RIFT by Andrea Cremer or VENOM by Fiona Paul, I expected quite a bit from Paul's book, but it ultimately let me down in execution.  Cremer I was giving a second chance since this was a prequel to the series I had issues with, but it too left me oddly dissatisfied.

From Wednesday:
Total Books: 27
Read: 9
DNF'ed: 6
Traded: 3
Previously Read: 5
Books Left: 4
Favorite Book:  THRONE OF GLASS by Sarah J. Maas or REDSHIRTS by John Scalzi, both books were favorites of last year period.
Least Favorite:  THE CURSED by Jennifer L. Armentrout, which saddened me a lot because I loved her Luxe series SO MUCH.  I just could not like the main character.  Or her sister.  Or the love interest.

From Wednesday:
Total Books: 16
Read: 6
DNF'ed: 4
Traded:  1
Previously Read:  0
Books Left:  5
Favorite Book:  PRINCESS ELIZABETH'S SPY by Susan Elia MacNeal, this was a surprise entry to the list that was brought on by Nicole's campaigning for me to try it out!
Least Favorite:   THE POISON PRINCESS by Kresley Cole, less surprising since I'm not a fan of her non-YA books either.

So I didn't do that badly!  I've read almost half of the books, which is a better than in years past!  I plan on reading a couple more during the Readathon.

How did everyone else fare from last year?
