The following are some of the best books I read in 2017. They are from different genres and authors. They are by no means a complete list. The books that I have on my list for 2018 are also a small faction of the ones I want to read. But what I want to read and actually have time to read are always two different things. Here’s wishing you all the best reading year in 2018 and let me know which ones you read and how you like them.
Happy New Year! And be Present in your life.
