Books
I’ve been an avid reader since I was a child. I’m always in the middle of a book or about to start a new one. Because reading is so central to my life, I write books quite frequently. Back in the day, I used to write reviews of every book I read. Now I just jot down a few thoughts—unless I really HAVE to write a review. I also track my reading monthly and prepare a big yearly summary of my reading where I highlight my favorite books from the previous year.
