What are you reading?
For those of you who follow me and read this weekly blog, you know I love giving book reviews and recommendations. Since I read about a book per week, I am able to do a book review every quarter where I review the most recent batch. In the #CJJblog this week, it’s that time again where I give you the latest 12 books I have read and a couple quick thoughts on each. If you follow me on Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, I do a book recommendation every Wednesday.
