2016 year in review: books

Looks like I doubled my goal of reading at least 12 books this year.  Hit a lovely number of 24 total books. Thanks to Goodreads, I have a growing digital shelf list of books I've read and want to read. The interface of the platform and the desktop experience is not the sleekest. Im a returning user primarily for the functionality.
