Reading in 2015
I don’t do resolutions anymore, but this list intrigues me. I read many of these books last year, and who knows, I might read the rest this year…. 26 Books to Read in 2015: I’m cheating and listing some of my reading in 2014 that I think fits the list with a promise that maybe I’ll fill in the holes in 2015 – I know I’ll be reading lots.
