Books I have read in 2017

My goal for 2017 in terms of reading was to read more books than I did in 2016 : A grand total of six non-fiction books.

In my mind I thought it would be closer to twenty five but looking back that seems to have been a bit unrealistic. I did however manage to read a total of 11 books; 8 non fiction and three of more of the self help / spiritual variety.

Reading really is a great means of escapism for me especially since I don’t watch all the latest and greatest Netflix and Showmax series that everyone else is always talking about. Related: I have only ever watched 5 minutes of a Game of Thrones episode. I love reading and think this year I will try read a bit more in terms of variety (maybe less of the violent nature).

Here is a list of books I got through in 2017:

• The Girl on the Train – Paula Hawkins
• The Last Winter of Dani Lancing – P.D. Viner
• Along Came a Spider – James Patterson
• A is for Alibi – Sue Grafton
• Buddhist Boot Camp – Timber Hawkeye
• Exit Music – Ian Rankin
• Gone Girl – Gillian Flynn
• 1st to Die – James Patterson
• Anybody Out There – Marian Keyes
• The Shack – Wm Paul Young
• The Power of Empathy – Cyndi Dale

This year beating eleven books seems like a tall order as 2018 is going to be filled with travel and learning experiences so will it take it as it comes.
