As you may or may not remember, I have a goal of reading 52 books this year. I have quietly had this goal for years and have fallen quite short many years in a row. This year I decided to share the goal on facebook, instagram and on the good ole blog as a means of keeping me accountable. Well January is here and gone and so far I am meeting my goal! Here are the books I have read thus far.

I really enjoyed this book, it takes you past the good ole Rosie the Riveter and told a story of women with various other jobs in order to help the war effort. There were many fascinating facts and behind the scenes stories that made this book enjoyable.
Oh Maya Angelou how I love thee. This book was sometimes heartbreaking but it was always inspiring. What a life she lived and what lessons she was able to glean from her experiences.
This book was a fun read-multiple point of views and connections to the main character. I love stories that follow a family through many years and this book did just that.
This book was a very interesting read-it covers a near death experience of a neurosurgeon. He did a wonderful job at representing the ethereal and scientific fact. Really an interesting read.

And of course I started the year off with Oprah....you can't go wrong with Oprah. It is a real feel good read.

What have you been reading this year?
