I love to read, especially books on personal growth. When everything is taken care of, the cleaning is done, everyone’s settled in, you can find my face in a book.
There are tons of books have taught me, inspired those “ah-ha” moments, touched me, and helped me to feel understood.
Books have the potential to change our lives and I want that for you too.
These are the books sitting on my nightstand right now. I usually read a few at a time.
There is no limit to how many books could be on this list. That’s why it’s hard to show all of thee most outstanding books.
Everything here I got something from or enjoyed reading. There have been plenty of books that have done nothing for me. And I’ll never add any of those here.
The ‘in the queue’ section is for books that I’m excited to check out. If after reading, I don’t want to recommend it, bye-bye.
I love reading other best of lists for inspiration too.
Happy reading!
