My Year in Books 2018

I have been reading a lot of books this year, not only to stimulate my mind but to also block out President Agent Orange in my life whenever possible!

I made a list not only to share my reading habits but also to hold myself accountable to continue reading.  My new year’s resolution every year is to read more books, and I think I have achieved that!  

Some of them are review copies I received from publishers for free, while others are older books that I reread because of their relevance.
