Books I Have Read in 2016
In 2016 I managed for the first time to read 52 books, that is, one book per week on average. In reality I read a lot at the beginning of the year and at the end of the year. During the summer I read very little, which is the fault of Pokémon Go and I read a lot in November and December when I was unemployed. For 2017 I set my goal to 60 books, it will take less than 365 days to see how this goes.
Without further ado here is the list of books I have read in 2016. I include links to Amazon, but I recommend that you do as I do and buy them at your local book store. At least some of the books on that list, I have found while browsing the store waiting to pick up my order.
