Picture this: you went to bed early to read your favorite book but now it’s 2am and you’re not even tired because you’ve been fully transported elsewhere and you need to read just one more chapter to find out what.happens.next. This was me last week reading Fleishman is in Trouble every night. Sharing books, thinking […]

I had a long list of books planned for the January reading list but was able to get through four of them. I pushed some of them to February so those are coming soon but in the meantime, here are reviews for the books I finished. This month was a great mix of fun, emotional, and business-centered books. I started with Nora Ephron’s, I Remember Nothing, which I’ve wanted to read for a long time and knew would be wonderful. I love a collection of essays and this book did not disappoint. Braving the Wilderness is so timely and touches about so many things I think about as a parent and human being regarding belonging, bullying, vulnerability and so much more.

I’m really excited to share the December reading list because every book was fantastic. For Know My Name and Catch and Kill, I was up all night eagerly turning the pages and wanting more. Not Just a Pretty Face was the education I was desperately craving to understand the cosmetics industry and how to shop for personal care products in an educated way. Modern Love is a collection of essays, my favorite type of book, that was relatable, thought-provoking, and always emotional. Despite it being a light reading month (I blame Netflix), I enjoyed each book included below and would recommend any of them.

January is always a great month to reset your reading goals. You could just plant yourself on the floor of a bookstore as I did here and read for hours but that’s likely unrealistic for most people on a daily basis. So how does one realistically read more books?

I was expecting to read more books in February since I have about 25 books on my to-read list but it occurred to me that I only finished two books last month. Both of these were excellent though so I thought I’d include them in the February reading list. Have you read either one?

I’ve been writing book reviews here and there but I thought in 2019, I would start monthly reading lists. I thought it would be fun to do a monthly roundup of books I’ve read and get suggestions from you on what to read next. Here is the January 2019 reading list:

As I walked home, I made my way to my room where a journal stood on my desk. Something in me just felt the need to write it all down. I started writing almost every day because it was the only thing that brought me joy and internal peace. Looking back, journaling is probably what saved me.

Over the past few months, I’ve slowly been adding books to my Amazon cart as they came up in conversation with friends. I’m definitely guilty of using my phone too much so I’m giving myself some tech-free relaxation time. I thought I would share the books I plan to read by December with you, in case you’re also looking for your next literary escape.

One of the things I miss about being in school are the reading lists. Although I loved being on summer break, there was something special about receiving a list of unread books that I could peruse through. Now that it’s fall, one of my favorite activities is getting cozy with an oversized sweater, hot tea, […]
