Blood,Sweat and Books

2014 is finally upon us and that means that it's time to reveal my Top Ten Favorite Books of 2013. For what feels like months now I've been contemplating my list of favorites and while some books have been added or bumped I feel this final grouping does this past year of amazing reads justice. I want to further explain that just because these are my favorites it does not deter whatsoever from the other books that I've read in 2013.

Evan Angler Publication Date: September 4,2012 Publisher: Thomas Nelson When Logan Langly backed out of getting the Mark and went on the run, no one thought he could survive on his own. Without the Mark, you can't buy food, go to the doctor, or use a tablet--you aren't even a citizen.
