We asked Nalini Singh ten random questions... find her answers on Closet Geeks and Slow Mo
As I look through my books read in 2013, I realize I had a better year than I thought.
Here are the stats:
159 Books Read
68 Re-read Books
91 New-to-me Books
Of those 91 new-to-me books, there were:
15 Five-Star Books
33 Four-Star Books
21 Three-Star Books
4 Two-Star Books
18 One-Star Books (12 of which were DNFs)
Though re-reads made up the bulk of my true enjoyment this year, I still had 69 new-to-me books that I, at least, liked.
Some of these books stand out more at the end of this year than others - so regardless of their rating at the time I reviewed them, I'm going to highlight those that are most memorable to me for being fantastic. These are in no particular order.

Raphael is unsure if the event is due to the first Cascade in centuries, a shift in power and Archangel’s abilities, or if it is a direct threat aimed at him. He has noticed changes in himself already as he grows stronger and his powers begin to change with each strange event. Raphael feels a coldness and distance building within him but he can feel also feel the depth of power he could have if he allows it to take hold. Elena is the anchor that keeps him from giving in to the darkness and instead, holding on to the bit of humanity she brought into his life. Read More
