Read 23 books in 5 months? That sounds a little ridiculous, but
isn’t that the case with some of the most fun things in life?
August 1 – December 31 may go down for me, personally, as some of
the hardest months of my life (so far). But, they’ll go down as more than that. They’re
also when I did just that: read more books than the number of years I’ve walked
on this earth.
I say read loosely because Audible has truly changed my life. One-hour commute time and life’s dish washing, laundry-putting-away
reality means a whole lot of time for having things read to you.
Here’s my roundup of some of the books I read in case you’re
looking for some good reads (or listens):

I definitely don't want this to be a monologue. What are your thoughts? Questions? Ideas?
