5 years ago, I woke up at 2am and dumped a half a bottle of moonshine down my bathroom sink drain.

I’d been so desperate for a drink, I’d opened a gift bottle we’d bought in the Smokies, wrapped up for Christmas.

At 2am, I felt how out of control I’d become.

Time for my "Favorite Books of the Year" post, which is always fun & hard to narrow down.

I read 60 books this, tracking nearly all of them on Goodreads. A lot of memoirs!
