My Five Favorite Books: Kelly Turner (Vice President & Senior Legal Director at Goldman Sachs) - After a very long hiatus from reading, I got back to it in 2023. In 2024, I finished 95 books. So far in 2025, I am up to 88 books. I am going to limit this list to books I have finished in the past two years. As you will see, I enjoy a wide range of genres. I hope you find your next great read!
