The Hunger Games was a phenomenal book/movie/series. The movie was great but the books are so interesting and detailed. I'm excited to see if they relate to the book more in the second movie, Catching Fire. If you havent read this series then you ought to start the year off by doing so.
Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. I have seen the play a few times and i just went and saw the movie and now I want to see how much the book is the same or different from the play and movie.
50 shades of grey because the authur was on barbara walters most fascinating people. So the book much be interesting.

Here is a great quote from the book:
“People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life."

"Tweny Years After" by Alexandre Dumas. Alexandre Dumas has always been my favourite author,and since i loved "The Count Of Monte Cristo" and The Three Musketeers. I think i will enjoy this book as well.
Edit: Oh wait, for me to read? Not what I'm reading now...haha.I'm voting for "The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making" by Catherynne M. Valente.
I enjoy reading magazines rather then books. "deer and deer hunting" magazines have very well written articles that provide insight to situations, gear, and ideas that interest me.
A good book to read for the new year is "The White Oleander" by Janet Finch. I highly recommend it and it never gets boring either. It has also been made into a movie
A book that I just finished and it was a really good book was, "The Giver", by Lois Lowry. The Giver is actually a really good look at what the future could look like, and if your into Sci-fye then what other perfect book to read for the upcoming new year? Its a short read, and its very interesting. Great book for the new year!
A good book to read for the New Year of 2013 is Lunch in Paris: A Love Story, with Recipes, by Elizabeth Bard.

The movie just came out, so you can see that even though the movie was great the book is still better."
Ambitious! Tolkein is a master :)

I would say something with suspense and horror would be my type of book for 2013 i would say the "THINNER" by Stephen King he really has some interesting books that won't make you doze off :)
