Starting in 2020, I’ve made a goal to read more than what I’ve done in the past. With a combination of fiction and non-fiction I hope to expand my knowledge and creative thinking so I can be better than yesterday.
Occasionally, I’ll add more books to the list. Some of it is more of a wish list to read. Much of the non-fiction will be business related to help me grow my side business.
