Hello,
I have been thinking about Comey's book. I assume you recommend it, since it is one your best best list of 2018. Happy Wednesday, enjoy your day!
Ha. I see you're into non-fiction. I admit I like escapism. The reality of the world depresses me. The Great Alone was good. I do love reading about Alaska.

Your list is an inspiration! I read a lot, but a lot of it is escapism. Note to self: Try harder!
Hi Sallie, Reading should be pleasurable so read what you enjoy. I generally like history and biographies. I’m going to post a list of good fiction that I read in 2018 too.
