What I Read in 2005

My reading for 2005 included business, classic fiction, current fiction, autobiography, masculinity and femininity, homeschooling, health, personal and business productivity, marketing, travel, childrearing, time management, writing, and more.  You can see why I call myself the Eclectic Bibliophile!

  1. You certainly have a broad range of interests… how wonderful. I am the exact same way… sometimes I think it is my ADHD brain. This week alone we brought over 30 books from the library. Not that we will read all of them. Some of them we only read parts. We just love books. 🙂

    Blessings to you and yours,
