Booklist
Over the holidays, I resurrected my Kindle. I cleaned it up, bought a new cover for it (it's bright yellow) and loaded it with some old favourites as well as a few newer releases. The goal is to read 32 books in a year (Mar 1, 2021 – Mar 1, 2022). It might be a stretch but I'll give it a go. Regardless it will be fun and will help kick my Netflix habit.

Looking at the above list, I quite like the variety that it provides – it has some on spiritual formation, some on the Holy Spirit, some biographical, some on culture and others on cybersecurity/technology. Hopefully I can offer some thoughts here at NeonSoup under the tag #LitQuotes or on BookWyrm.
