Reading life reality check in for 2016

readers note: I often use audible to read as it can read to me while I read or just read to me while I am on the go through Audible. 2016 was a many adulating milestone year for me personally but a rather slow year for my reading, total of 26 books finished this year so far. 8 books over half done with and several more just started.

In 2016 As of today I’ve read

Finished:
Most Books for NCIBA YA book of the year panel including
