In the order I read them, my 5-star books ("Favourites") of 2013 were:

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
As Man Thinketh by James Allen
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
Ulysses by James Joyce

Since I may be stricter than most with my rankings, I'll also include in order read my 4-star books ("Excellent") from 2013:

Chess by Stefan Zweig
The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith
The Secret River by Kate Grenville
My Oedipus Complex and Other Stories by Frank O'Connor, 1963 version
