Books Read 2018

[stripedcatpjs]

This year I decided to start tracking format of the books read: paper, kindle, or audio.  Just another interesting data point.  I read a total of 31 books this year, only 3 of them were paper.  Still a lot of audio books over e-books.  I also spent a lot of time crocheting rather than reading.  There were quite a few jems in this year's list, I made a lot of book recommendations to friends this year.  The Very Tall Man also embraced audiobooks this year and has gotten through all of the Harry Potter books.
