One of my goals while in Nicaragua was to read and I have been, about one book every other week. I am ever grateful to the Eugene Public Library for their Library2go OverDrive app subscription. I can borrow free audio and ebooks. Not every book here is through the app, but many are and all audiobooks are. This is my reading list thus far, which I also just added to Goodreads and am working on some reviews: www.goodreads.com/sarcc Every book included here was worth reading. I have started and put down a few others, which I haven't included.
