I love to read. What books have you read this year?
Over the last few years I have written almost 80 reviews. My goal is to reach 100 in 2015. Because I love to read and people often ask me for book recommendations I thought I’d share a list of some of the goodies I’ve read in past year.
Add some to your to-read-list or buy them for your favorite book worms.
I’ll divide them by genre and encourage you to check out my reviews on Amazon or Goodreads.
