I’ve been so engrossed in the process of making new books this year that my blogging status became nearly obsolete. I’m sorry! While there’s been plenty to talk about, I’ve been lost in the words of authors instead of finding my way up from the pages to write my own thoughts. But I know you’ll forgive my absence when I finally share this stack of shimmering new titles!  Let’s see what 2013 brought us, according to category. Where have we been this year in the worlds of self help, health & healing, and spiritual development?1
