The above books are listed in no particular order. My only criteria for a book to be included on this list was that it was bought in 2013 (not published in 2013.) Also, I prefer to buy books in hardcover as much as possible (if they are available and affordable) so I've linked to the exact editions that I purchased. There may be other editions available. 

Please note that just because a book is listed for sale on amazon at X price doesn't mean that it's not available elsewhere for a much more affordable price. I bought most of these books either on sale or used at my local bookstore. I don't always trust amazon prices (check abebooks as they are usually more reliable.) That said, always keep your eyes open as you can find gems at affordable prices at your local used bookstore, independent bookstore (some have sales), library sales, thrift stores, etc...
