Personal Development
Books that push you to think bigger about money, confidence and what you're capable of. From building real wealth to finally taking that leap you've been putting off, these reads are about becoming the person who doesn't wait for permission.
This is one of my favorite books. I've read it twice so far. Rachel Rodgers doesn’t tell women that we’re frivolous and need to pinch pennies. She wants us to know that we can go out there and get what we want.
We Should All Be Millionaires
I learned so many great lessons from this book. It helped me get over my limiting beliefs and change my mindset to one of abundance. I got logical business lessons. I just might read this one again. I highly recommend it!
The Big Leap
I read this book back in January. It wasn’t for me but a lot of people find it helpful 🤷🏿♀️
The Let Them Theory: Life-Changing Tool
Mystery, Thriller & Suspense
Twisty, can't-put-it-down reads for when you want to stay up way too late. Missing people, buried secrets and marriages that aren't what they seem. These are the books that keep you guessing until the last page.
Twice on Christmas is about a killer who strikes twice during the holidays. I gave it 4 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐. If you like Frieda McFadden and Daniel Hurst, you might like this one.
TWICE ON CHRISTMAS an unputdownable psychological thriller with an astonishing twist
Just finished Death Row by Freida McFadden. Only 74 pages but left me scratching my head 😅. Fast read, interesting plot… but that ending? 3⭐ from me.
Death Row
This book kept me reading! It felt a little rushed at the end but was good enough to hold my attention. I actually found this one after seeing an ad for the movie ‘I Thought My Husband’s Wife Was Dead.’
Unmissing: A Thriller
Pretty good book besides the multiple mentions of Austin being “too old” to understand the most basic things about technology.
The Bones at Point No Point
It wasn’t the ending I was expecting but it kept me reading. I’m not a fan of how it ended but it’s a good read. It's a page turner and I gave it 4 stars.
The Perfect Marriage
It kept me engaged but the ending was disappointing. It left too many questions. The story built a lot of anticipation and I feel I was left dangling.
All Good People Here
I loved this book! I read that it's loosely based on real events, which is sad. It is a great story though.
Monday's Not Coming
I read this book about a year and a half ago. I really enjoyed it. I gave it 5 stars.
