Happy New Year! It's always great to start the year off with a goal - here's a bookish goal of ten books I resolve to read in 2013, the topic for today's Top Ten Tuesday. The Broke and the Bookish host this weekly meme.

4. Miss Hargreaves by Frank Baker

  1. I've read a few of these: #1, #2, and #9. And, I want to read #3, but it didn't make my HOPEFULS: 2013 list.

  2. That is a great list, Elizabeth. I loved Moloka'i when I read it, and hope you will too.

    I really liked the one Mo Hayder book I've read (Devil of Nanking) and would like to read more by the author.

    Enjoy your books and have a great New Year!

  8. I plan on reading some Stephen King this year too! And may I just say that Moloka'i is an AMAZING book! I read it pre-blogging and still remember it!
