Books read year by year

Welcome to Rob’s Reading List! I created this list to keep track of the books I’ve been reading lately. I’ve gathered various books from my Kindle library and Audible collection, reflecting my diverse literature taste. I update this list every time I finish a new book, so you can join me on this journey of self-reflection and discover your next literary adventure within its pages. Check out my evolving reading list and find your next favorite book. My goal is to finish at least two books per month.
