Book List

Last Updated 6.20.2024

I read a book about every 2-3 weeks.

Here’s a list of books that are noteworthy to be on my website. Disclaimer: Not every book I read ends up on this page.

It is organized by Topic (rather, my best guess of topic), and then by Author alphabetically within each topic (by first name).

If you click on the title of the book, you will get my 2-4 sentence review and rating of the book.

Enjoy!
