We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and is ready for 2013! It’s about that time when everyone comes out with the lists of the best books, events and everything else that happened in 2012. We certainly had some favorite books from this year!
When reading over the NY Times Best-Seller List through out the year, it makes us wonder what people in other countries are reading and if they read the same things we do. So here’s some of the best-sellers they are reading over in Europe. We find this interesting…note the Fifty Shades of Grey!!
