I'm starting a mega list. I'm not quite sure how to describe it other than it is going to have books, ideas and maybe stuff. Maybe it is my life right now, my brain just now. A snap shot of all the different threads that make up my current existence.

Audiobooks are one of my favorite ways to read, especially when there are so many things I have to get done. For drives or day-to-day chores - these are some of my favorites - with genres like fantasy, romance, thriller, and more!

Psychology and Sociology always intrigued me in College so I decided to return to school for a Pschology degree. It has also influenced a small…okay maybe a large portion of my personal reading library. 🤷🏽‍♀️ This list is a snippet of some of the studies, books, and discussions that I have listened to or read.

i've always been an avid reader, and have read (way) too many books to count. here to share some of my favorites from my favorite genre: fantasy and romantasy!!

“My go-to parenting books that helped me stay calm, connected, and confident — from baby days to the teen years.”

These 12 books are filled with underlined passages on healing, growth, and meaning, each one feels like a flashlight in the dark corners of life, illuminating truth, resilience, and the quiet strength within.

These are books that I could barely put down after starting them. I read these within maybe two or three days max. I give my honest opinion about all of these books. I hope you find one to fall in your lap next.

I call them potato chip books because they’re so easy to indulge in and they’re easy for your mind

Freida McFadden is hands-down my all-time favorite author. No one does plot twists like she does—every single time she gets me. I’ve lost count of how many times my jaw hit the floor while reading her books. If you love psychological thrillers that keep you guessing until the very last page, you need to read these. She’s absolutely amazing!

“Dear old world… you are very lovely, and I am glad to be alive in you.” – Anne Shirley A gentle, nostalgia inspired by green fields, wildflowers, kindred spirits, and raspberry cordial. Whether you’re planning a picnic, writing by candlelight, or wandering in a daydream - this list is for you.

My top-tier horror book picks! I seriously think about some of these books all the time. There are some REALLY great horror books in this collection that I don't see on many lists and are severely underhyped. If you're a horror book fan, this list is for you. Enjoy!

Romantasy has my heart! I am still hoping a Fae Prince will capture me and I'll have to learn how to wield a sword to survive...

These are a few books I have read over the years whose stories have stuck with me long term. Some of them are excellent works of fiction that have inspired me to do greater things with my life. Some are non-fiction. Some are memoirs. Each of these books has impacted me in some way and I had to share them. I will continue to add to this list, too.

If you know me, I am always reading. These books are some of my favorites that I could read over and over….and over. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do 🫶

Today’s list is all about birds—one of those delightfully versatile homeschool themes that works across ages and seasons. Whether your kids are obsessed with feathers and flight or you're simply in need of a gentle pivot into something fresh, a bird study can be simple, engaging, and full of wonder. I’ve pulled together SO MANY titles—some are rich with story, others are packed with facts, and a few are perfect for toddlers or wiggly hands during read-alouds. You’ll find a mix of Charlotte Mason-friendly living books, hands-on resources for gameschool-style learners, and even field guides for your budding little naturalists. And because I know you’re juggling all the things, I went ahead and organized everything into easy-to-browse categories so you can skip the scroll and get right to what works for your homeschool.

Children’s books are often written with honesty, imagination, and simplicity—and that’s exactly what makes them hit harder as you get older. The more grown-up you are, the more you start noticing the deeper meanings hidden between the lines. A lot of them even tackle heavy themes in such a gentle, beautiful way. So don’t be shy about heading back to the kids’ section. You might just find the life lesson you’ve been searching for.

Not every book is created equal. I mean technically, every book helps to support language and brain development at the very least. However, some are fun and silly like Dragons Love Tacos and other's help to bring up important topics like the Color Monster.Books are an amazing way to support other areas of development as well! They help to open up discussions and prompt your little one to ask questions. Here's a list of kids books and that area of development they support.

I read a variety of genres. You may look at this variety and think, “what in the world,” but I love reading and escaping into a good book. My TBR is unbelievably large so if it doesn't capture me from the start, I move on to the next and won't be recommending it. Too many great books to read to try and read those that do not interest us right.

If you enjoy Dungeons and Dragons then you'll enjoy these books. They're Urban Fantasy and Detective Noir styled. I love the style of magic in them and how it's built into the world that they have. It's like a 1940s era but technology is run with magic instead of electricity which I find quite unique. This series is written by my brother so I can't help but recommend it. And I have actually done a lot to promote it including making a video series for them on YouTube!

I promise none of these books will disappoint, and I will continue to add to this list as I go. Happy Reading!

As a small business owner, I know firsthand that success isn’t just about having a great product—it’s about mindset, strategy, and resilience. Whether it’s time management, financial growth, or developing an unstoppable entrepreneurial mindset, the right books can be game-changers.
