It's a brand new year! How the heck did we get to 2017?!
I keep a list of books in Evernote that I want to buy/get and books that I want to check out from the libraries at our local high schools (I work in the schools so get to check books out from the libraries--perk of the job!). And of course, I have a TBR shelf that always seems to have book I mean to read on it. I realize I've never shared these lists here.
I'd love feedback on any of these books if you've read them or
if you have favorites that I should add to the list!
