O ano de 2013 foi um ano extraordinário no que toca a leituras, principalmente porque consegui não só atingir o meu objectivo de livros a ler (80) mas ultrapassei bastante esse número (num total de 123 livros !). Aqui fica um breve resumo dos livros a destacar (lista detalhada no Goodreads) ...
Dei 5 estrelas a 12 livros :
- Este foi o ano da descoberta do Rafael Sabatini adorei o Captain Blood e o Scaramouche, ambos em audiobook.
- Trilogia Lumatere, Melina Marchetta
- High Wages da Dorothy Whipple - cada vez gosto mais dos livros dela (lentamente ando a aumentar a minha colecção de livros Persephone)
- The unlikely pilgrimage of Harold Fry, Rachel Joyce
- Bring up the bodies, Hillary Mantel
- Days of blood and starlight, Laini Taylor
- The scapegoat e Jamaica Inn, da Daphne du Maurier (este foi um grande ano para os audiobooks !)

De 4 estrelas, destaco os seguintes:
