I’m not actually going to try to come up with a list for the entire year, but I’ve grabbed the books that I’ve gone through in the last couple of months or that I’m reading now. I’ll add a couple books that have been significant to me in the last year that I can recall further back also. But, I’ve had to stop somewhere, and so I know I’ve missed some and listed almost none from more than 6 months ago.
These aren’t necessarily listed in any order other than where they ended up in my stacks.
