I LOVE to read!!

I love to read and by read I mean listen to Audible, that’s the same thing right?? Or maybe I should say I love to consume books? Regardless of how it’s put, books are one of the things I interact with daily.   In 2021 I read 94 books! That’s right, 94! With 2 kids under 6 see why Audible is my best friend? All the titles are below and I can’t pick a favorite.   I love all different genres but gravitate toward Historical Fiction if I’m picking for myself. I’m also part of two book club groups so that helps get me off the same type of book over and over again. I’m really bad about getting on an author or a subject and going down a rabbit hole.
