2016 wasn’t the best reading year for me, but it definitely wasn’t the worst either.

For about three years running, I’ve been in a terrible reading slump; unable to read as much as I really hoped to. None-the-less, below is a list of the few books I did manage read!

So tell me…did we read any of the same titles in 2016?
