I shared the books I read on Instagram as I read them this year. It was easier for me to keep up on it that way. And it felt a little like I was in a book club because people would send me messages about the books I was reading. My friend, Rachel, did the same thing and I enjoyed seeing what she was reading too! I'm just going to list them out here without any commentary.
