Alexia’s Top 12 Reads of 2012

2012- Twelve picks from Alexia’s ‘Have read’ in 2012 list <3

Since I had a few ask me what my fav. books of 2012 are that I actually READ, I had to do this post to show you. Boy, I didn’t know how hard this would be until I sat down and picked 12 books. It was super hard and I hope no one gets offended because there are so many more books that deserve to be on this list too. 12 is not enough to showcase the awesomeness of the books I’ve gotten to read this year! My list may be different from others who have posted a list, mainly because I am a dedicated INDIE AUTHOR book reader. I have some mainstream books in here too, but I love INDIE books, check them out, you won’t be sorry!

So without further ado, here are 12 of the books that I read in 2012 that made me say “WOWZERS!” In no particular order: CLICK HERE TO READ THE REST OF ALEXIA’S POST
