Build the Damn Thing: How to Start a Business
A Novel Idea
I love a good novel! There's nothing like curling up on the couch and having a story come alive in your mind while you read it. Sipping on a hot or cold beverage while doing so is optional.

Parable of the Talents by Octavia E. Butler, Paperback
This novel is a laidback, easy read to enjoy over the summer. It mixes romance with small mysteries and micro climaxes here and there. Take it with you to read while at the beach, on an airplane, or relaxing on your backyard patio.

Not Fiction!
These are nonfictional books that I think everyone should read because they contain valuable information.
This book should be required reading for everyone! If you want to know who really controls the economy, politics, the government, the entertainment industry, then get your own copy of this book and read it.

Keep the Memories, Lose the Stuff: Declutter, Downsize, and Move Forward with Your Life by Matt Paxton
This historical dive into the history of the Gucci family was really eye opening into the topics of business, luxury brands, and family dynamics. I read this book years before seeing the movie, and I highly recommend reading it before seeing the movi...

Coffee Table Attire
Large, visually appealing books covering my favorite topics of fashion, interior decor, and history are what I like to decorate my coffee and side tables with. They serve as easy material to flip through for visitors as well as talking points when en...
I love this stylish collection of photos showing a glamma I have watched grow a social media following by way of help from her granddaughter, a colleague of mine in the vintage resale space.
LEGENDARY EXHIBITION
As a handbag lover and bibliophile, this is a MUST HAVE for my coffee table! The background history, ideas, and designs detailed in this new book are very informative. Whenever I need a dose of Chanel, I grab this book and peruse through its pages to...
