A Year in Books

I have always been an avid reader. On our family cross country road trips growing up I remember sitting in the back of the suburban with my nose in a book (or the local map if a book was not available). And as one author put it, I would gladly read a car manual if there is nothing else available.

This year, whether it was the extended maternity leave or my discovery of the library app that lets me borrow library books on my kindle, I might have gone a little crazy with the reading. Below is the list of books I read in 2018, in order. 

Enjoy!
