This is the year I am returning to my book-loving roots! I recently saw an ad that claimed the average CEO reads 60 books a year, and part of me was like, challenge accepted. So I want to develop a habit of reading again. I mean when I was a kid, books were my friends, the library was my home away from home. As an adult, the first thing I always did when moving to a new neighborhood was to get my library card. It’s like a passport, people. To encourage my new goal, I opened my Kindle library last night (okay, confession: I have about 700 non-fiction books in my library) and made a list of the books I want to start and finish this year. Finish being the keyword.
So in no particular order, here is what I plan to read this year:
