A year in books

One of my goals for 2019 was to complete a book a week. Thank goodness for audiobooks and the ability to listen at x1.25-1.5 speed. Otherwise I am not sure I would have finished as many as I did. There are some I couldn’t get through and, thus, they didn’t make the list. Some of the books were life changing, some opinion changing, some opened my world into new perspectives. Many of the books were recommended and intentionally chosen. It was a great goal, one of the few I completed. Here’s what I read:
