2013: a reading outlook

As mentioned in my review of the last year, I managed to read 19 books in 2013. I want to keep up with that reading pace and hope to be able to read at least 12 books in 2013. With this post I want to share my plans for the reading year 2013 and also the thrill of anticipation I am feeling when looking at the books that are waiting for me to be read. 

I was inspired for this post by the wonderful book and audiobook I recently received by the lovely Sue from Happy Ich. She organized a really great give away last month (actualy she even organized a couple of great give aways) and I was a very happy winner. I usually never win anything. Hence, I was taken by surprise to win such a great gift! Have a look at the great book and audiobook I won:

Sue said about the book that it touched her very deeply and I am looking forward to maybe make the same experience. I already am quite much focused on my body and started to have kind of a love affair with it myself e.g. by doing sports, meditating and taking care to sleep enough. But I think there still is a lot of room for inspiration and motivation for a new approach on body blessing. I already started to listen to the audiobook which consists of some really nice guided meditations and I do enjoy very much to listen to it. The book is on top of my To Read list of 2013. 

Here is a glimpse on a couple of other books that I look very much forward to in 2013:

• The Life Organizer by Jennifer Louden: I am especially curious about that book. :-)
• The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin (I will be reading the german version): there is not much to be said about that book. It is a bestseller for quite some time now and I am pretty late with reading it in 2013.
• Lifehacker. The guide to working smarter, faster and better by Adam Pash & Gina Trapani: I am very curious about that book. I expect it to provide me with a lot of great productivity tips and tools. In this way I hope to become even more organized and get my work done even faster than ever (and yield much more spare time that I can spend with sports and inspiring free time activities). 
• To buy or not to buy. Why we overshop and how to stop. by April Benson: A good friend recommended me this book. She liked it very much and made me very curious about it. 
• NLP workbook by Joseph O`Connor: I am a huge NLP fan since a bit more than one year now and I already started to read this book in 2012 and loved it but a couple of events and then a couple of other books intervened my reading progress. Hence, I want to restart reading it and finish it in 2013. It's a great book - probably one of the best books on NLP that are available on the market. I don't know why I have allowed myself to not finish it. I remember that I was quite impressed by it while reading and I also already incorporated a couple of exercises from the first pages of the book into my life. The book is a really great book.
• Mindset by Carol Dweck (I will read the german version because a lovely friend of mine gave it to me in German): I have heard and read a lot raves about that book and am looking forward to reading it very much. 
• Nice girls don't get the corner office by Lois P. Frankl: This is a book that apparently has been read by any successful woman in the blogosphere. So, I will read it too and hope to get many new insights on how to become a successful woman myself. :-) 

I hope that I'll be able to read them all and also a couple of more books in 2013 and I am looking very much forward to my readings in 2013.

What are you planing to read in 2013?
