2019 Books
The year started out strong and faltered after Where the Crawdads Sing. I might be a bit over dramatic, but compares. The list can be found here.
2018 Books
The year I had another baby. 11 books read. None challenging, but all enjoyable, mental "get away" books. The very short list can be found here.
2017 Books
Not quite as impressive as 2016, but I did manage to read 45 books. The list can be found here.
2016 Books
One my 2016 New Years Resolutions (and the one I was able to keep pretty well) was to read everyday. Here's a list of what I've read thus far. You can pick your jaw off the floor now, these aren't exactly considered deep or heavy reads. The list can be found here.
You can't go wrong with these authors.
(Read: I've read every single one of their books.)

Liza Palmer

Celia Rivenbark
David Sedaris
Jill Mansell

Stories that aren't true (some call these "fiction")
The Art of French Kissing by Kristin Harmel - (It isn't what you think, I promise!)
The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger
Diary of a Mad Fat Girl by Stephanie McAfee
Goundswell by Katie Lee
Look Again by Lisa Scottoline - Not my typical go to chick lit, but I couldn't put it down.
A Million Little Pieces by James Fray - Despite the controversy, this is a good and challenging read (thanks to the lack of major punctuation).
The Nanny Diaries by Emily Mclaughlin and Nicola Kraus
One Fifth Avenue by Candace Bushnell - I'm not a Sex in the City gal, but this book's good.
Stay by Allie Larkin - A book about a dog and the dog doesn't die!

The Wives of Bath by Wendy Holden
Stories that are semi-true (also known as "non-fiction")
The Defense Never Rests: A Lawyer's Quest For The Gospel by Craig Parton - A church book! And one I can really relate to.
A Girl Named Zippy by Haven Kimmel - This book will make you laugh until you cry until you laugh again.
It's Not Me It's You by Stefanie Wilder-Taylor - Very funny (I like funny) and a one sitting read. She also has some mommy books I'm going to check out this summer (despite not being a mommy).
Marcus of Umbria by Justine van der Leun
Mennonite in a Little Black Dress by Rhoda Janzen
Moose: A Memoir of Fat Camp by Stephanie Klein
My Life From Scratch by Gesine Bullock-Prado - Sister of Sandra Bullock. Comes with some yummy recipes. Originally released as "Confessions of a Closet Master Baker."
Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Woman's Prison by Piper Kerman
White House Nannies: True Tales From the Other Department of Homeland Security by Barbara Kline - If you enjoy politics and celebrities (and who doesn't?) you'll enjoy this one.
