2019 books. 📚
I moved to the Bay Area this year, 2019.
I don’t enjoy much here on the weekends, so I read a lot. This year I read 46 books. It comes out fairly close to one a week.
Some books need to be print, most are good on Kindle, and a small amount are good as audio books. I had a queue for each of these formats this year.
I’m going to start marking when I finished the book. I’ll add a date at the end (i.e. (12/22)).
