I love to read. I don't shy away from genre as long as it's a good book. I love novels, memoirs, and nerdy science stuff and self help. These books have been really impactful for either my soul or ADHD brain.
"The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers." — Ralph Nader
Leadership is the cornerstone of progress and transformation in any society, organization, or community. A great leader inspires others to unlock their potential, fostering an environment of growth, innovation, and collaboration. True leadership is rooted in integrity, vision, and service, guiding people toward a shared goal while ensuring their individual growth and well-being. It cultivates trust, resilience, and unity, creating a ripple effect that uplifts entire teams and communities. Good leadership does not seek power for its own sake but rather empowers others, leaving a lasting legacy of positive change and development.
Making this list makes me miss my love for reading and Danielle Steel is my absolute favorite author! Her books drew me in because they are often set in historical times and I am a history nerd. She has never disappointed!!
I'm a huge murder mystery fan, and of course Agatha Christie was the grand dame of the genre. I love the setting and characters (especially Hercule Poirot), but at the heart, her cozy mysteries are intricate puzzles. The bummer about being a Christie fan, of course, is that no one will ever be able to duplicate her mind or her voice. But thankfully many authors have taken up the challenge to try to craft the perfect crime. Here are a few of my favorites.

I don't know what it is about hockey, but it is my favorite sports to read romance about! These are all adult books and intended for mature audience. Please take note of content warnings.

I don't read/recommend books with cheating by the main couple. All have a happy ending.
