For the past several years, I've been keeping lists of the books I read and listen to and then posting them after the year ends. So, here is the past year's books. Some favorites will come later once I figure out what they are. LOL And, on another board I frequent, we did ABC challenges to see if we could read books with titles and/or author last names beginning with each letter of the alphabet. This year I finished both, so I'll go ahead and post those lists in a separate post.
