I love a book list, so this post has become a favorite of mine. I hope y’all find some good reads on here! These are the 35 books, mostly fiction, I’ve read so far this year.
I link all the titles to Amazon, where I also keep a big ol’ list of recommended reads, and have links to reviews on social media if you want to know what I thought of the books. Plus, now I tag all my reading-related posts on Instagram and Facebook with #KHTreads, so follow along there too!
Some things to know about my reading habits: I like actual books, but I do sometimes read on my Kindle. I suspect I will read more on my new, waterproof Kindle Paperwhite. I will quit books if I can’t get into them, although I’ve gotten better about selecting books I anticipate liking. I almost always have a book with me, you know, just in case I happen upon some time to read. (Here are some tips for making time for books and reading more.)

Now it’s your turn. What should I add to my Amazon Wish List (aka my to-be-read list)?
*****
Need more recommendations? Here are lists from 2020, 2019, 2018, and 2017.
Wait, do you really not use GoodReads for your to-be-read list??
I’ll have several more overlapping with you once I make it through my BOTM books that are currently collecting dust. 😉
I use GoodReads to keep track of what I’ve read, but I started using Amazon, just a private wish list, for what I want to read because sometimes Amazon will email me if one of the items on my wish list is on sale or part of a Kindle deal. I think I started the Amazon wish list thing before GoodReads linked with Kindle/Amazon like it does now. Plus if someone recommends a good book, I’ll just look it up on Amazon and then decide if I think I want to read it or not. It works for me! 🙂
Which BOTM books do you have awaiting you?
Also, it makes me happy to see you comment on my blog post, like the good ol’ days! 🙂
