Who knew ink and paper could do so much
Self-help books are not usually my speed, but this book was gifted to me at the perfect time. I learned so much about changing my perspective in regards to motivation.
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck
I can't look at this book without smiling. One of my roommates from college told me to read this and I now want to reread this book making this post.
I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell: Max, Tucker
I couldn't help myself once I finished Tucker Max's first book. I don't think I've laughed so hard. Yes, the book is crude, but also incredibly hilarious.
Assholes Finish First: Max, Tucker - Books
I obviously had read this one after reading the first 2. This when it had me in tears from laughter, which made it incredibly hard to read in public.
Hilarity Ensues: Max, Tucker - Books
I could not put this book down. While I was never a Nickelodeon kid growing up (we didn't have cable), I found myself drawn to this book. The reader learns so much about Jennette and the ups and downs of her life. After reading this book, whenever I ...
I'm Glad My Mom Died: McCurdy, Jennette
I know this list is titled with the words “ink” and “paper”, but trust me, listening to the audiobook is by far the best. I mean, hello, Carey Elwes narrates the book! I loved learning all the behind-the-scenes things about this all-time great classi...
As You Wish
As a criminal defense attorney, I often work with social workers and this book was recommended by the top social worker in my organization. I fight reading recommendations like this often for some reason. However, I broke down and borrowed this from ...
Maybe You Should Talk To Someone: A Therapist
Deborah Harkness knows how to write! This is the first book in her All Souls Series. I read this after seeing previews for the series on AMC. I am so glad that I read the book before watching the series as this book blew me away. I love her descripti...
A Discovery of Witches
I quickly started the 2nd book in Deborah Harkness's All Souls Series as soon as I finished the first. The story line pulls you in so deep that you are eager to get the next book.
Shadow of Night
I was so mad when I finished this book. Not because of anything the author did, but because it meant I had finished the book. I was so happy to hear that she released another book in the series. I want to warn anyone who is intrigued by the series on...
The Book of Life (Harkness novel)
I started reading this series at the suggestion of my sister. I think my one complaint is that it's too easy for me to read. I will absolutely continue reading the series because it is enjoyable, but I really want to watch the True Blood series.
Dead Until Dark (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 1)
I really enjoyed this book. The authors writing made the words come to life and truly transport you to the marshland. I read this before watching the movie and much preferred the book although the movie did do a pretty good job. Both will have you wi...
Where the Crawdads Sing

If you are one of those people who do better with audio, give these podcasts a chance
I am a criminal defense attorney who tries to do the best by the clients while also making sure justice is served. The hosts of this broadcast, husband and wife Bob and Ali Motta, believe the same. They report straight facts while also educating ever...
Defense Diaries - Apple Podcasts
I found this podcast when one of the girls I follow on Instagram was a guest. I love the message that Shelby spreads. She is informative yet real. I love being able to relate to her episodes.
Sad to Savage | Podcast on Spotify
2 of the my most favorite people to watch on YouTube have created their own podcast. Tyler and Jessica are so knowledgeable about Disney and make it so entertaining. I love listening to them when I need to escape reality. It is truly like listening t...
Disneyville Podcast
I would be doing you all a disservice if I didn't recommend the first podcast I ever started listening to. Scary (ish) causes you to shiver and shake with fear and laughter. They truly do their research but also remind you to take everything with a g...
scary(ish) podcast - Spotify
Being a female in a wheelchair, this podcast resonates with me on so many levels. I love how they talk about topics affecting those with disabilities. I feel heard/seen.
