For the last blog of the calendar year Mrs. Wilson and I reflect back over all the books we have read this year and try to pick our top ten. Each year limiting ourselves to just ten is very difficult and there usually is some overlap between our lists. This year was no exception. Between the 20 nominated books for the Caudill award and the great new fiction for Young Adults, plus some older books we've finally gotten around to reading, it has taken some time to bring our lists down to ten. So for the 2013 calendar year, here are our Top Ten. Please share your comments or list with us. Have a great holiday season.
