Books I've Read...

I love to read! Do you?
Reading is one of the things that I fail to find enough the time to do  in my life. Every time I find myself snuggled up with a book or finish a book, I think to myself "I should do this more often!". I've tried to keep a list of books and "goals" for how many books to read in a year, but that failed terribly. Instead of making reading something to check off a list, I'll just write my own as I read books! I still feel the happiness from reading and I get to look back on how many stories I was able to immerse myself in throughout the year!
