Going into 2015, I’ve got a few aspirations in mind. One of those is to continue to read. I nearly cracked the 100 books in 2014 - so this year I wanted to track the books I read to share some insight on some of the favorites that I enjoyed through the year. What kinds of books can you expect to find? Science-y, Real Life-y, Classic-y and parenting books are part of my first ten; a trend I expect to continue throughout the year. Mixed in, the occasional young adult, quick road trip read - something like Eleanor and Park, that brings you right back into the throes of high school.
