stack of books, Ballard, Seattle, Washington

Last year was the first time I kept a reading list and tracked what I read. And I have to say, I’m glad I did! I would have forgotten half of the stuff I read had I not written it down. So here’s my list (in no particular order). With a few exceptions, I’d enthusiastically recommend all of them!
