Formats! 149 were audiobooks, 120 were ebooks, and the rest (91) were paper.
Sources! I did buy a few, but as always, I'm so grateful that Harris County Public Library and Houston Public Library contain such multitudes. I also had some review copies of books and audiobooks sent along, which I always enjoy.
The bulk of 2012's reading was romance - 75 contemporaries, and 68 historicals. But there were also 66 mysteries, 57 young adult novels, 18 sci-fi/fantasties, a dozen non-fiction titles, and 64 real sorta serious otherwise non-genre fiction novels. Some really enthralling, uplifting, depressing, thought-provoking books there, in addition to the mindless fun and so forth.
Here they are, basically alphabetical by author. The green ones are the ones I've posted about, and the orange ones are ones I also loved (mostly I post about books I loved) so you should look out for them, too:
