Best of Reading 2013

I was thinking of doing this earlier, but after seeing this on a number of blogs that I subscribe to, I thought it might be time to do this. Jamie from The Perpetual Page Turner has offered the 4th annual end of year book survey and here is my attempt at this. I will link up where I can.
1. Best Book Read in 2013
That is a difficult one to determine as there were a number of books that could qualify, but it would have to be a tie between The Book Thief and A Game of Thrones.
2. Book you were excited about and thought you were going to love but didn't?
This is one is a little easier because I have had some time to think about it and it would have to be Where'd You Go Bernadette by Maria Semple. I had heard so many good things about this book, but I was a little disappointed in the book; felt confused by the nature of the book.
3. Most surprising (in a good way!) book of 2013?
The Chaperone by Laura Moriarty and Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell.
4. Book that you read in 2013 …
