It’s December – the time to ponder the best books of 2013, and to wonder which ones will receive the coveted awards of January.
It’s also time to come clean and admit the books still languishing on your TBR pile.
What book did you want to, plan to, or have to read this year … but didn’t?
Here are the two that I most regret not having read this year:
- Rooftoppers by Katherine Rundell (Simon & Schuster)
- Serafina’s Promise by Ann E. Burg (Scholastic)
So, now that I’ve made you (and me!) feel guilty, take heart – we have 21 days left until next year. Grab a book and start reading!
Luckily for me, I’ll be reviewing the audiobook version of Rooftoppers soon for a magazine, and I’ve got time to squeeze in Serafina’s Promise. How about you?

I’m still trying to catch up on 2012 reading. A couple of 2013 releases I still hope to read before the end of the year are MAGGOT MOON by Sally Gardner, PI IN THE SKY by Wendy Mass, and THE ABOMINABLES by Eva Ibbotson.

Thanks to you, I’ve picked up both ROOFTOPPERS (which I’m already loving) and SERAFINA’S PROMISE! On my own list are BETTER NATE THAN EVER, BO AT BALLARD CREEK, THE MOUSE WITH THE QUESTION MARK TAIL, and THE TRUE BLUE SCOUTS OF SUGAR MAN SWAMP. I better get reading……
