I love using this platform to write lists that I can revisit time and time again – it makes it real and concrete to write it down. It helps checkmark things off and I hope it helps whoever is indulging in the list at hand.

Todays list is all about books. I’ll be honest with you guys, reading has taken a huge back burner in my life. Every year I aim to read more and every year the checkmarks next to my “books read” decreases. At least the intent is there, right? As a kid reading was my most favorite hobby, I had a vast vocabulary and reading made my writing better…I loved it all and I hope this year is the year I gain that wonderful habit back.

I asked you guys on Instagram for your favorite books…old, new, fiction, self-help whatever it may be and I compiled a list of your favorites and new ones I found to be interesting that I will be reading this year.

I hope this list inspires you to pick up a book and read along with me! Bookclub in the works…perhaps?

In no particular order….
