My 2017 in books
Okay, I admit it. I’m a book nerd. This is one of the reasons I so love taking the Goodreads Challenge each year, because I can enjoy my end-of-year 2017 in books overview. I love reviewing the books I’ve read over the year, and the pages (over 18,000!) I’ve read that aren’t technical reports or…
