The 2019 Reading Challenge: Update

IMG_3353.JPG

Deciding to read 50 books this year was one of the best commitments I’ve made in a while! I’ve found myself spending significantly less time staring at screens and instead learning about such a broad range of topics, sleeping better, and being more conversational.

It helps that this year marked the beginning of a book club created by one of my dearest friends. It has become the highlight of each month, as we gather to discuss the book and our lives. This week at our meeting, one of the women asked me to share my book list from this year. I realized that I didn’t have a place to point her, expect my Goodreads account — but I know not everyone has one of those.

So, here we are so far: 36 of 50 books read this year, easily linked for you to get your own copy! (Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.)
