Book List 2014-2015

Since I started my current job last August, I've had a lot more time to listen to, well, everything. Music quickly became too useless, and I have had a hard time listening to podcasts because of depression being a butt. So I started listening to audio books. I needed a way to compile a list of books I've read and listened to because I go through them so quickly. I started by listening to free books on Spotify, then switched to Audible, and am currently phasing away from Audible and into Scribd. So, here it is, kind of in order from December last year (when I started listening to audio books) to present, all of the books I've read and listened to. The books I actually read have an R beside them. As I begin to keep it more up to date, I will order it by month finished, because it's easier to read that way. Because of how quickly I go through books, I am always happy to take recommendations. Due to training a new employee, I listened to far fewer books in December of 2015.
