At the end of every year, I have a lot of traditional posts I do - one being a list of the books I read. This year was a tough reading year for me. I didn't really love a lot of books. I gave up on more than I ever had before, and I had a really hard time finding anything that would hold my attention or keep me interested. But somehow, I still managed to do a lot of reading!
