The Bookshelf That Drew Me Back In
I was an avid reader in my public school days, but now I find myself reading for work or school more often than not. Some of these books are helpful or great conversation starters, my hope is to also add books that have brought me joy or an escape in...
Audiobooks
I personally struggle with reading comprehension and listening to audiobooks is a good way for me to retain information. I enjoy the monthly credit from Audible premium because I can use it for books that are more expensive than the subscription pric...
I've found myself using Spotify as a source of audiobooks instead of Audible since we already pay for the family plan, and I think that there is a pretty nice variety
Fiction
I've listened to this one and it keeps my attention for hours. A society of magic and the clash of the industrial revolution, adventures and a bag affectionately named Grandad. The Wilby's are captivating and quite the pair. Definitely worth the read...
I can't say enough about this book. It kept my husband glued to it and the author is wonderful and straightforward about who she is as a person. We're awaiting the sequel excitedly.
//Note to come :)
The Wheel of Time
Many of the links are to amazon, if you can find them elsewhere please do :) Getting used copies in readble condition is better than them probably ending up in a landfill. Better descriptions to come! It's hard to find the right words to say for 13 y...
In 5th grade I dove into the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan, after listening to the audiobook on cassette during a summer road trip to meet my newest cousin. This series, from this book on has captured my mind and my time frequently since then...
I adore this series, honestly. I'd recommend getting this in hardcover if you're looking for a physical book, the copies I've got from my mom of the series that are paperback are decently fragile now because they're at least 20 years old I think. The...

Book 12, the first book that was finished by Brandon Sanderson, after he was selected to finish the series by Jordan's wife and editor Harriet McDougal. Originally part of A Memory of Light, which was split into three books, this being the first of t...

Book 14, the last of the series.
(Showing as low resolution) Maps are wonderful to go with the series, I'm not sure if it still gets printed on the inner cover of the paperbacks
Kids Books
A series that brought me joy, excitement and adventure in my own childhood, and is now a favorite of my daughter's to listen to. It is read by the author and I really do enjoy it, even as an adult.
Home Care
This audio book & book have been absolutely amazing and the descriptor of gentle is so accurate. I adore KC Davis, and listening to this book when our entire house was a mess and a near mental health crisis was super helpful. It not only gave us ...
Life Skills
This was a book one of my professors who I consider a mentor had us read in my college stage management course a couple years ago, and honestly it is a nice short read worth the time. Some things are definitely more beneficial for who don't have ADHD...
Museums
If you have any interest in museums and their place in society this is a really good read. It was part of an Intro to Museum Studies class I took and the whole class had me captivated. The source of a lot of great discussions about more than just mus...
