maybe you often get angry and say words

books read this year

This is going to either be embarrassing or self-aggrandizing, but that’s all right, nothing new for this blog. 

Italics indicate re-reads, bolds indicate books I would Recommend.  What I would count as a book might not be what you would count as a book, but that’s okay.
