2022 Reading List

Personal
Written By Brandon J. Brown

I spend a LOT of time staring at a screen. It is perhaps the biggest part of my job - sure I have to go places and take photos too - but ninja-level-screen-staring is absolutely essential so I can edit and deliver galleries to all the wonderful people and beautiful buildings that I have photographed. Last summer, I ditched Netflix for Audible, and it was such a huge upgrade!

You will immediately notice that I have a preferred genre. I enjoyed all these books for different reasons.
