The Books
These are the books I've been reading
Currently Reading
I used to read only one book at a time. I would avoid starting a new one until I finished whatever I was currently reading. If I was slow to finish, or lost interest, I would never pick up another book. I've recently flipped that on it's head and instead started reading anything that I'm interested in.
