OK, let me admit that I did not follow through on this post … that I wrote to hold myself accountable to reading more. BUT, I did read other books (or listen to them, Audible is awesome).

According to Dave Ramsey, the average millionaire reads one non-fiction book every month. Besides that fact, I’ve decided that I need to soak up some knowledge given my new work situation. So I’m putting together a reading list of books to read between now and the end of the year.
