My Bookshelf

Welcome to my virtual bookshelf!

I’ve created this page to chronicle the books I’ve read or listened to since January, 2010.  The covers appears in reverse chronological order with the most recently completed titles appearing at the top left.  Book spines are useful for seeing titles on a traditional bookshelf, I’ve always preferred to see the cover art instead.  Now I can!  And so you can you.  Feel free to leave a comment about any you’ve read or to make a recommendation for what I might try next.  Or connect with me on
Goodreads and share your recommendations that way!

    John!!!! I should so do this! I have made my kids keep a log of what they read and what we’ve read as read-a-louds, but haven’t tracked my own. I have thought about it several times, but was picturing a paper log. This seems easier to keep up with!

    @Kim LeBeau It’s a bit more work, but a lot more fun. :)
