Last year I read 48 books which, was surprising even to me, considering I was in graduate school until June. The volume of reading I had to do for my program made casual reading next to impossible. This year I do not have that limitation so, I am hoping to be able to read 70 books. I read books of all types. I prefer thrillers, legal and murder, and I also read true crime and historical fiction. One genre you will not find on my list is romance. Here is a list of some of the books I currently have stored on my Kindle to read this year. Now, not to say I have not ordered other books, because I belong to two books clubs too.<\/p>\n

  1. Chasing Amanda by Melissa Foster<\/li>\n
  2. The Confession: A Novel by John Grisham<\/li>\n

    Of course this is just a partial list. I have over 123 samples of books on my Kindle I would like to read. But, I will not list all of those here. If you are curious if I have read a particular book, leave me a comment and I will give you a review of that book, if I have read it. What are some of the books you are reading this year? I am always on the look out for a good read! Enjoy your reading this year.<\/p>\n
