Ok my friends I fell short of my goal to read 100 books but I beat my personal record and read 64 books. The goal for next year is again 100. This goal pushed me to read books that I probably would not have read without it. I didn’t love every book but I learned something new from each one. Reading and Listening to books has been my favorite way to learn the important lessons of history and explore new ideas. I am excited for a new year of the reading challenge. Join up on Goodreads….I love to see what all you guys are learning as well.
