Books, books and more books!
Books I’ve bought, books from the library, books on order as I type. Books I’ve read, books waiting to be read, books I’m reading for a second time. Books I sought out, books picked up on a whim. Books that have graced my coffee, bedside and kitchen tables.
All of them have been flipped through, referenced or enjoyed during the past few months.
I chose to go for a round number of 25 books. I also chose to keep it simple: no reviews, just titles, authors and links for your perusal.
Happy reading!
