It is said most people read less than one non-fiction book per year.  Last year I read 24 after a challenge from Jon Acuff and his Finish Year challenge.  After that I set a goal for 40 in 2013 and managed to do over 50!  I want to challenge everyone out there to read just one book a month for 2014 and make it an education year for you!

Here is a list of books that I completed over the course of 2013. Nothing is here for endorsement.   You can check out the 2012 books here.

Books of 2012

2012 was a year of reading and education for me. I have read more this year than in any previous year and it is great to see the accomplishment. What I believe drove this was Jon Acuff’s “FinishYear”  where he talked about finishing 12 non-fiction books. I went and doubled!

2013 is just around the corner and my goal is to complete 40 books by the end of next year. Who wants to come along on the journey?
