Auditing the Books (2019 review)

 Again, I will list the books I've read and the books I've "read" this past year. Most of these are in the audio"book" format. I spent a lot of this calendar year commuting to various universities where I was an adjunct. I also watch our youngest son, and so to get some peace and quiet, I opt to wash dishes while Megan gives the boys their baths and catches up with them. This gives me some extra time with the headphones.
