One year ago, I decided to start this blog to chronicle the books I read and share some book club news. I never thought I’d of read as much as I did this year, nor have the pleasure of meeting authors and reading their books. It has been a great journey and I am so thankful to have had you join me along the way.
There are quite a few books I enjoyed reading and some that have become my all time favorites. Below is a list of some of the books I read this year that I absolutely love and wanted to share with you, too!
