Book List

I read books all the time that I don't always get around to reviewing, perhaps good but not great or I have written about the series before and not sure what new to add. Whatever the case may be, recently, I found myself in a situation reading a book with a case of deja vu. It turns out I had read a previous copy (different cover) and thought perhaps it was just reminding me of something else. So, I wished for a list of books I had read as a reference. I hope you view this list as an insight into my addiction to books of all types.
