Summary:
37 total books: 13 audio, 24 print; 23 fiction, 14 non-fiction.
I can’t believe we started reading A Series of Unfortunate Events (or “S. U. E.,” as we call it) in March – it seems like we’ve been reading them for years. We’re on the last book now, and it’s been fun to read them all together.
The best books I read was definitely David Copperfield. That went straight into my Top 10 list. The Bondage of the Will and Let the Right One In were also highlights.
