As part of my 101 goals in 1001 days, I plan to read 100 new books. I almost always choose books that have been recommended to me, so this is my way of keeping up with my progress but also sharing my great finds with you! 

Know of a book you think I might like? Want to tell me how much you loved/hated/didn’t care about one of the books on my list. Let me know! Email me anytime.
