2017 Reading List

I’ve read at least 100 books a year for the past three years, so it’s fair to say I’m an avid reader. As such, I love giving and receiving book recommendations.

This list is where I will track my monthly reading, posting my list for you. I know you also like reading recommendations, so this list should assist you with those.

Visit my bookstore to view and purchase books I’ve given perfect grades within the past several years, as well as some of my all-time favorites.

You also can try Audible, where I listen to many books by using this link: Try Audible and Get Two Free Audiobooks.

As always, happy reading!
