If you recall (or if you’re new to Adventures In Nonsense), it was a resolution of mine to read two new books every month in 2018. My goal for 2017 was to read one new book a month, and I kind of blew that one out of the water. What can I say? I love reading.
So far, in 2018, I’ve read 23 books. If you only want to count the first half (through June) of 2018, I think I was technically 22 books. I’ve been impressed with the overall quality of books that I’ve read this year, though I’ve surely had a few that I won’t return to. I’ve been keeping track of the books as I finish them on a massive notecard on my vision board. I’m almost running out of space!
Highly Recommend
Seriously…go get these books now. It doesn’t take much for me to hate a book, but it takes a lot for me to love one. Thus, these books with the highest praises are guaranteed as engaging reading. Some books aren’t pictured because I either borrowed them or have already loaned them out.
