Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge 2013 Wrap Up

Oh yeah, that's right, oh yeah, do the happy dance!!  I not only read a bunch of great books this year, BUT I also read more books than I did last year.  What else does that mean?  It means that I also completed my outdo yourself challenge.  

Original post and links to the books that put me over the top to complete this goal are below.
