Books I Read in 2014
2014 was a pretty good book-year for me. I enjoyed a lot of what I read, and frankly, reading 44 books in a year where I picked up gaming and spent literally hundreds of hours in front of my computer feels like an accomplishment. I would have loved to read more, but that's a wish of mine every year. There were also times when I didn't quite manage to get a post out every month, which is something I really strive for. Each entry takes me a long time to write, and that coupled with everything else I do (games, teaching, marriage, cooking, exercise, etc) means that sometimes this year I haven't reached that goal.
In 2015, I would like to aim for 50 books in the next year, and I would like to publish at least once a month. I will do my best :)
