Who Else Wants to Get More Reading in this Year?

Looking for a good read?

Is one of your goals to read more in 2018? Mine is, and I set a goal to read over 50 books. It’s been a slow start, but I plan to fit more reading time into my schedule.

Reading is one of my favorite things to do, and if I had my way, I would read all day! I have always been a book lover and when I was young, the best part of each week was the trip to the library. Nowadays, I don’t get to the library often, so most of my reading is done on my Kindle, but not all. I love swapping great books with friends, too. If an author I love has written a book, I typically buy the hardback or paperback so I can keep it and lend.

I am sharing what I read in 2017. Some of the books were fantastic, and some, not so much.
