Is it weird to say that I’ve only read 71 books so far this year? The last two years, I had read over 100 books each year, so I’m definitely down considerably. But 71 books is still more than a lot. Of those 71, here are my Top 10 reads. Fiction We Spread – Iain…
Last year, I opened the Top 10 with a comment about how much 2020 had sucked. Given that we are still grappling with the Covid-19 pandemic, it did leave me with a lot of time on my hands in the early part of the year to devour books like a madman. So, much like last…
I think we can all agree that 2020 sucked, right? Well, if there are any positives to be gained from this garbage fire of a year it’s that I had more time than ever to read. As of this writing, I have read 95 books! I’m hoping to get to 100 before January 1st (which…

I achieved a small goal of mine in 2018 by eclipsing the number of books I read in 2017. In 2018, I read over sixty books as opposed to the forty-five I read the year prior. You’ll see some repeat authors on my 2018 list – in fact, this is the third year in a…
2017 will go down as a year in which I read a very small number of books. I guess my lack of reading could be due to a number of things; my obsession with US politics, the purchase of a nifty Nintendo Switch, my on-again-off issues with depression/anxiety or the one I’ll use as a…
