In the spirit of end-of-the-year lists, I thought I’d share my favorite books I read this year. I read before bed every night (I use a Kobo which means I can read as late as I want without turning on a bedside lamp, which has been great for my marriage!) and tend towards contemporary fiction. I also intersperse a lot of queer romance / YA romance because I just love a love story, especially an easy-going one. Keep Calm & Cook On is a reader-supported publication.
