This is probably my all time favorite that I read over and over that serves as a reminder of what truly matters. I cry every single time, but can’t stop hurting my own feelings because I’ve never been so inspired by any other book like I have with th...

When Breath Becomes Air: Pulitzer Prize Finalist|Hardcover

This book about life living in poverty in a third world country from the perspective of a child gave me so much new perspective on waste and the impacts of poverty in a very sobering way. Such a worthwhile read

Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity|Paperback

A truly crazy memoir from start to finish about growing up in a cult and obtaining an education in America

Educated: A Memoir|Hardcover

The best book this author has written hands down with actual plot twists that aren’t predictable multiple times throughout the story

The Silent Patient|Paperback

The more you read the more it sucks you in, and probably one of the best thriller/mysteries ever. I am also still hoping that she comes out with a sequel to this, but she probably won’t which will always keep me thinking about this book

None of This Is True: A Novel|Paperback

Cannot find a hard copy of this for some reason but such a good story about social work and persevering through systemic issues around child endangerment

No Child of Mine: A Novel|eBook

Kristin Hannah did not write any other book as good as this one in giving a well thought out representation of World War II and the difficulties of it

The Nightingale|Paperback

Now more than ever this book holds its prevalence about modern day racism/white supremacy following a medical malpractice suit of an African American nurse after she saves the life of a child of a white supremacist after being told that she could not...

Small Great Things: A Novel|Paperback

SO eye opening - two mixed race twins separate and one lives as white passing while the other lives as an African American showing the stark differences in their lives made by these choices as well as the differences from societal structure. An amazi...

The Vanishing Half|Paperback

Not to be confused with a self help book (bc frankly there is just too much overconsumption and pushing of those as it is) but a book about how success can be derived from statics. A truly fascinating read that did not feel like an agenda was being p...

Outliers: The Story of Success|Paperback

Tbh I didn’t know a lot about Julia Fox before reading this but WOW I continuously forgot that it was actually a true story for how crazy it was, but the story of immigration, living poor as a child, addiction, mental health, and finding success was...

Down the Drain|Paperback

Apps and resources

The Libby app! The best and easiest way to get holds from the library! I recommend placing holds for your books as soon as you want to read them since there can be long queues for more popular books. Support your local library! Sign up for a library ...

Libby

Good reads app is so good for finding new books! Also a great way to keep a list of what you’ve read and want to read! I do NOT recommend using tik tok as your means of finding books since after being lead astray by that and reading a horrendously gr...

Goodreads

I never thought I would be a kindle person but it has honestly changed the game for me especially for being able to read in the dark. Definitely recommend since it got me even more into reading which I didn’t think was possible since I was already a ...
