Hi Everyone!
I am excited to start a new year of life and reading. This year I am going to make a list and set aside these books that I have meant to read or interest me that I haven't read and see if I can get them read this year. I am a good "List maker" and not always a good "List finisher." I generally let my reading lead me to new topics and books but Non-Fiction is my mainstay.
I am pleased to be here for another year and seeing what everyone else is reading. Although I don't interact much in the chat feature, I love this group and the platform is a place of refuge as a reader and book lover where I can record what I have read and what books I own. I suggest LibraryThing to anyone who wants to talk books.
I live in the Pacific Northwest of the USA in Oregon at the base of the Cascade Mountains. I love the outdoors and do my best to get outside and hike and explore as much as possible. I work in the tech industry and am blessed to work from home, so I am in my office surrounded by my books every day.
It is a pleasure to be back starting my reading journey for 2024!
Wishing all the best the new year can bring for everyone, Happy New Year and Happy Reading!
Andy

January Non-Fiction Prizewinner- I read this based on seeing someone else reading it and it is something that interests me and was a great book. If only more people really understood what protections we have from the constitution and how they are being trampled on in many ways and by many means.

A good friend just sent me a copy of The Power Broker and I am excited to start reading it. It may slow down my progress for the month of May.

I started the Power Broker and it reminds me of reading about J. Edgar Hoover and how he started with the FBI.
I listened to 2 books while hiking in the rain this weekend. (#33 and #34) Sometimes being out in the weather on the trail with almost no one else is as good any other day. With the rain, wet, and wind the forest is a different kind of peaceful.
