Reading list

About a year ago now I set myself a goal to try and read a new book a week. It
was a bit of a stretch goal and I didn't even get close to achieving it. I did have
a fair crack at it and this goal actually made me read some really great books so
it something I will continue to try and achieve. during the year I got to use Amazon
a lot searching form more books, buys books and having them delivered. I have to
say Amazon is fantastic not only are there loads of books with great discount but
the best thing of all is their recommendation engine. Amazon knows which books I
like from my selections and makes recommendations based on what others who like
the same books as me. They make finding your next book really easy.

I'd love to hear form anyone, leave a comment below if you have read a great
book and would like to recommend it.

Below is my list of books I have read and ones I would have in my Amazon cart
at the moment
