I'm not going to list all the books I read. The ones not included above were okay, but largely not worth mentioning. I don't make a practice of reading a book I don't like unless it's for the book club. I did re-read four books this year that I highly recommend.
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society - read it for the third time.
Time and Again - read after many years break for the third time.
Tears of the Giraffe- part of the series No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, re-read for second time.
The Secret Garden - a children's book I hadn't read in a very long time. Still a delight.
What books would you recommend I add to my list to read in 2014?
Happy New Year!

Yay, more people posting lists of books they've read. I don't think I've read any on your list except for Secret Garden. And I agree, that one is a delight. Thank you for the reminder of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society - I really wanted to read that when it came out but instead ending up buying it for my sister and then never managing to borrow it. Must have a look in the library for it when they open again after the break.
Oh, found you via Two Men and a Little Farm, just in case you were wondering. I always find it interesting to see the connections. :)
Thanks for stopping by. You must read Guernsey Literary … It's the best. Too bad the author did survive to write another one.
I did wonder. Amazing how that happens.
I just don’t have as much time and energy to read these days as I would like! I invariably fall asleep after a couple chapters, unless it is an incredibly riveting book.
Usually I read nonfiction and essays, most often related to farming, of course. Favorites for this year:
Clabbered Dirt, Sweet Grass by Gary Paulsen - my first book read of 2013 - totally lovely
Growing a Feast by Kurt Timmermeister ( I may have also read his previous book, Growing a Farmer, this year)
Portrait of a Burger as a Young Calf by Peter Lovenheim
Restoration Agriculture by Mark Shepard (reading this now -it was a birthday present and is GREAT)
Eat Pray Love, by Elizabeth Gilbert
Esme Dooley by Jane Donovan - this is a kids’ book I read in order to interview the author for my radio show, and I totally loved it
I have a tall stack of wanna-reads next to my bed, including some fiction , right now. So many books, so little time!
Thanks for stopping by Susan.
I don't think I've read any of these. Looks like a good year of reading. Thanks for joining the blog hop!
I love the Secret Garden, I like your Agatha Christie spree, I read a lot of her in high school, addicting
