Re-KINDLEd Love: A List of Books

In high school and college I had to read a lot for school. Lots of textbooks. Lots of books. Lots of articles. Just lots and lots of reading. So for the first year out of college, I didn't want to touch a book. I listened to the Hunger Games on audiobook, but that was about the extent of my "reading". Over the last year, so my second year out of college, my love for reading has been rekindled, in part to the Kindle app on my iPad.

There are a few things that I love about reading eBooks.

1. They can fit in my purse.
2. I can get them from the library without having to go to the library.
3. They're cheaper (most of the time).
4. I can highlight in them and then copy the highlights and notes into a document to keep forever and ever.
5. They don't take up space on my bookshelf.

So you see, reading on my iPad has revolutionized my desire to read. As requested, here's a list of books I've read over the last year, I'm reading now, and I'd like to read over the next year. I've linked everything to Amazon because that's just the best place to buy anything.

If you want to recommend something to me, comment below! I have bolded (?) what I recommend to you.
