As much as a record for myself as a sharing for others, I wanted to create this list of books read this year. No reviews, no synopsis just a list that you might use as inspiration, or you might just choose to skim by :)
Read any of these yourself? Let me know!
I say no reviews, but I did add an asterisk to the ones I particularly enjoyed, and a double asterisk to the ones I loved…
