Brett’s Site: Five Books https://fivebooks.com/. Over the last few months I’ve been enjoying reading PAPER (gasp!) books from my local library which, through technology, gives me access to books from ANY library across the state of Ohio! Been enjoying sitting in the evening, putting on jazz instrumental channel on Spotify (I created one called “Jazz Ballad Salad”) and read. But WHAT do you read? There’s so much! Recently found the Five Books site and I’ve spent a LOT of time looking through the top 5 recommended books in a wide variety of categories and just having a great time. The only thing that’s suffering is my hold list at the library now.
