Everyone has reasons for NOT reading, but a few years ago, it was thought that we should pay more attention to those we KNOW will be good, yet ignored because there are many others being published NOW! I'll put my list above with the one from 2016, and will try hard to do better with it than I did last year! I know that "too many books, not enough time" is something we all say, but here is a new year, and a list of books that need a little love. Great widget for us, Carrie!
