2013 Year In Photos

2013 was pretty good to me. I think 2014 is going to be strange and amazing and crazy and challenging, so before it begins here’s a look back at the highlights from a year that was filled with friends, family, love, laughing, travel, food, and adventures.

I went to England. Finally. (Full set of photos on Flickr.)

And here, presented without commentary, are photos that represent some of the times when I was happiest in 2013. Moments where I channeled Kurt Vonnegut and thought, “if this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.”

  1. Beautiful post, Emily! I love the photographs you take, so much! I think 10 or 11 is your favourite number (10 states, 10 shows, 11 sporting events, 11 concerts) :) So wonderful to know that you finally visited Platform nine and three quarters :) So jealous of you! Looking forward to following your bookish / photographic / travel adventures this year. After seeing your posts and pictures on the MSU team, the Spartans, I have fallen in love with them :) The Spartans rock!

    Happy New Year! Hope your year is filled with many wonderful books and writers, wonderful bookstore visits, lots of beautiful reading moments and wonderful travel adventures!
