This is a list of the books that I've read in 2013, broken up into Early Reader & Middle Grade Books, Young Adult Books, and Adult Books. I am not currently listing picture books, because I read so many of them (though I do review the ones that particularly strike me).

19. Dan Wells: Fragments (Partials #2). Balzer + Bray. Young Adult. Completed April 3, on Kindle. While I read this one quickly, and even dreamed about it, I didn't enjoy it as much as I did the first Partials book. I found the "humans are bad and will eventually destroy the planet" messages both heavy-handed and repetitive. Which is too bad, because Wells has built a compelling dystopian world full of witty characters and interesting ethical challenges. I'll still read the next book, I'm sure.
