There's only 21 books listed here but I'm quite a slow reader so this is a fairly long list for me, especially with all the classics listed. If I achieve reading all of these I'll add more to read or re-read.
What was your favorite book you read in 2012?
Are you planning on reading any of the same books as me in 2013?

The all time BEST book I read (and discovered) in 2012, was North & South by Gaskell. SO fantastic, I adore and love it!
Some of the books you have listed for reading this year, I have on my classics club list; secret garden, a little princess, most of the Jane Austen books, and Nort & South. I have tried to read Great Expectations but could never finish it.
'Great Expectations' was one of my favorite reads this year and I'd really like to get to 'Sense and Sensibility' soon. It's the only Jane Austen book I haven't read yet. Looks like some great books on your list. :)
Happy New Year!
You can't go wrong with Austen, or North&South, or those two FHB books. ;-)
I made my challenge for the year to be at least 40 books, but it will probably be a lot more...depending on how fast I read through some of the classics I have listed, too. :-P
I figure, though, I should be able to get up to the 50 I did last year.
And I highly recommend joining Goodreads to keep track of all this. ;-)
I read (and still own) a paperback edition of "A Little Princess" with illustrations by Tasha Tudor. I read "Secret Garden" years ago as well.
The Christmas season isn't quite over yet--think of the "12 Days of Christmas" song! I plan to play Christmas music through the iTunes radio section until Epiphany!
Caddie Woodlawn is wonderful! I hope you enjoy it! I got the sequel, Magical Melons, last summer and hope to read it this year, maybe after re-reading Caddie again. :)
Totally enjoyed 'Just Jane.' :)
