I need you to help me figure out what to read and what to review in 2013. \u00a0As a way of encouraging myself, and hopefully others, to read more in the New Year I decided to start including regular book reviews on the blog.<\/p>\n

Below are a few books that I’ve read recently and one that I’m currently reading. I’ll be posting book reviews on these on Mondays.<\/p>\n

You can help me in two ways:<\/p>\n

1. Give me some suggestions for books to review<\/h4>\n

I’d really like to hear from you and know what you are thinking of reading. \u00a0You can simply leave your suggestions in the comments below. I read every comment and respond personally to most of them too!<\/p>\n

2. Follow the links and buy some books for yourself<\/h4>\n

I almost exclusively buy my books on Amazon Kindle<\/a><\/span>\"\", which is really handy because I can get them instantly even though I live in Ukraine. \u00a0If you follow any of my links and purchase something Amazon gives me a small credit that I can use to buy more books! I have about 45 books on my wish list<\/a>\"\" right now, but I don’t want to make our family broke on book purchases so your help is very appreciated.<\/p>\n

Here’s what I’m planning to review over the next few weeks.<\/h4>\n
