By my count, I managed to read 57 books during the past year.
While that may seem like a lot (or not very many to some voracious readers), it was only five books over of my annual goal of 52 books, that is, one book a week.
You’ll find a complete list below of the books that I finished this year, and I have to admit that it was hard for me to pick out my favorite book, or shall I say, books of the year. I’d alphabetically rank my Top 10 as follows:
1. 1912 by Chris Turney
2. The Art of Manliness by Brett and Kate McKay
3. The Barefoot Bandit by Bob Friel
4. Build the Perfect Bug Out Bag by Creek Stewart
5. The Complete History of Evergreen, Alabama by Pat Poole
6. Expedition to the Mountains of the Moon by Mark Hodder
7. Forgotten Tales of Alabama by Kelly Kazek
8. From Nymph to Mobile and Beyond by Fred Richardson Jr.
9. Haunted Tuscaloosa by David Higdon and Brett J. Talley
10. The Man Who Quit Money by Mark Sundeen
