I read 82 books in 2012. That is an average year for me although less than I always hope. Nearly all of my books came from the library, actually, all of them did, even the ones that I read on my Kindle. I already published my best of 2012.
There were some books that were disappointments, that is, books that I started and for whatever reason (it did not engage me immediately) did not finish although there were only a few of those. Since I get my books from the library (did I mention that I am a librarian?), if a book is on hold for other people, I do need to take it back as soon it is due. There are a few books that I took back and back and finally forgot about. Because I was not really interested or I was not really interested at that time.
Sometimes, I pick up a book later and wonder why I did not delve into it immediately--sometimes the season or the mood is not right. Other books sound great in the description and the reviews but just do not really speak to me. I waited and waited for The Light Between the Oceans and when it came, I started it and just could not really get into it. But I put myself back on the list and will try again. Maybe the next time will be the charm.
