Books I Read in 2014

After returning from our winter holidays down south in April, I had the wall-hung TV removed from my bedroom, as I was having serious sleep interruption issues, all of my own doing. I’d wake up a few times during the night, turn on the TV and watch it until I fell asleep again. That made for long nights and really sleepy days.

So… with the TV gone, I turned to reading. WHAT a joy and a blessing! Beats the heck out of late-night TV, although I must admit I really miss watching Morning Joe (with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski) at 3AM my time. 🙂

Anyway, here are the books I read in 2014, since mid-April.
