Resolution Rundown #2

In light of President Obama sharing his favorite books of 2019, the second New Year’s Resolution I want to share is that I want to read one book per week.

Ever since graduating from college, I have not read for leisure as much as I should so I want to remedy that by taking down 52 books in 2020.
