Resolutions--To Share More

 

Even though the year end has been a little hectic, I have compiled my list of books I read this year. I have also made a resolution to add reviews of favorites, and I have also begun to build a list of other reading-related topics that are on my mind. For now, though, I am sharing my 2025 reading list. I'd love to hear your favorites for the year, as well as what you plan to read next.
