Read That

Moving overseas with a Kindle has been a huge boost to my book consumption. In fact, I’m so connected to my Kindle that one of my friends noted that she couldn’t easily spot me in the metro yesterday when I didn’t have my nose in its green cover.

I decided to try and keep track of some of the things I’ve read here. Would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions for other things to read. Books are listed in rough reverse chronological order.

I decided to be honest, so you’ll see a fair share of historical fiction and chick lit on this list. Please don’t judge. Sometimes you just need to escape the real world.
