I love reading & listening to new books and making notes on things I've read and learned.

I keep Goodreads lists of books I am reading, want to read in future & ones I want to read next.

I also have bookshelves of books I liked & read.

Below are books I read (or listened) sorted by year I read them in. The books with links attached will lead to notes I made when reading the book. Books with 🌟 are my favorite.
