3-3 Books I Read (So far)
I did a lot of reading on the island. About a year in, I decided to start writing all the titles down. I think I missed a few so here is a mostly complete list of things I’ve read in between September 2010 and October 2012. I’m happy to write reviews or give recommendations on any of them and I may do a short recommendations or best of list at some point in the future. Sorry for the couple that I don’t have authors on. I forgot to write some down.
Also, do not judge me for reading Twilight. It was necessary.
