\"Prison-books\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you know me at all, you know that I LOVE to read! \u00a0When I was a kid, my mom would take away books if I was in big trouble…that’s how much I love to read! \u00a0This past year for our family was awesome and awesomely busy…so I didn’t read as much as I normally do. \u00a0I don’t regret a moment of it either. \u00a0The books will always be there…our sweet kids are growing fast and I don’t want to miss a thing.<\/p>\n

This year I read 32 books and reviewed them on this website. \u00a0I’ve listed all of the books below and the links will take you to my book review in the case that you’d like to learn more about these books. \u00a0I firmly believe that leaders are readers and that you can tell a lot about a person by types of books that they read and the conversations that those books inspire. \u00a0I’m looking forward to diving in to another great book list for 2015!<\/p>\n
