I am excited about this! NPR just published its list of the 10 best books of 2016. It has been a while since I have posted my thoughts about a book. I have still been reading, but lately it has been with little enthusiasm or direction, so I’m excited to dive into this list. I think it’s a great reading goal for 2017. And the list includes both Eleanor Roosevelt and The Boss, so count me in! I won’t tell you which book I’m starting with, but look for my first post in the next week or so.
The list:
The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone by Olivia Laing
The Wonder by Emma Donoghue
Here I Am by Jonathan Safran Foer
Underground Airlines by Ben H. Winters
Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen
When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi
Eleanor Roosevelt: The War Years and After, 1939-1962 by Blanche Wiesen Cook
Eyes on the Street: The Life of Jane Jacobs by Robert Kanigel

A HOUSE WITH CHARACTER 
So I was getting ready to do a “Read What’s on your Shelf” challenge for 2017 because I’ve kind of been the same way about reading lately – and I have all these books on my shelf that I haven’t even read! But now I’m looking at this list and OMG! I totally want to ready like ALL of them! Can’t wait to see which you’re starting with!

I’m just finishing up my first book from the list and it’s fantastic. I’ll post all about it next week. Happy reading!
