Overall, I read or listened to a lot of really great books this year. There were a few disappointments and a couple that I struggled through, but I also read a nice combination of new releases and novels that I’ve been meaning to read for some time. I hope, if nothing else, that gives you a couple books to add to your own “to-read” list.
