Thought I’d share my favorite books from this last year. I didn’t take the time to put them in the order of my preference or give the theme and particular value of each. But feel free to ask me about any of these. Of course, you can also go to Amazon for summaries and reviews. Speaking of reviews, if you’ve read any of my three books, I’d soooo appreciate you writing a review on Amazon and your social media account. If you haven’t read them, check them out on Amazon under my name: Barney Wiget.
