Wow, that’s 39 titles – and probably only 3 of them were read in the early part of the year with my big reading starting in June and turning on and off until the end of the year.

There were also a handful of books I tried to read and gave up on – just couldn’t get into them.

My favorite….Piece of Heaven and the Story of Best Friends.

And the best part of all these reads – from the library – every last one of them!
