.01 – Make Your Bed – Admiral William H. McRaven
Lessons about moving beyond failure, standing up to bullies and giving others hope. Many people I know weren’t about to put it down and finished the book in 4 days after starting!
.02 – Tell Me More – Kelly Korrigan
All about the 12 hardest things she is learning to say to sustain her relationships. She’s honest and hilarious and her words will turn the wheel of life.
.03 – Where The Crawdads Sing
Everyone and their mom was raving about this book in 2019, and it’s next on my reading list!
.04 – Becoming by Michelle Obama
Currently reading this one! She’s so inspiring and it’s just nostalgic to read about her life growing up in Chicago and how her and Barack got to where they are now 🙂
.05 – Disappearing Earth
Named one of the NYT top 10 books of the year, it’s true crime and takes place in Russia, which makes me feel cozy bc cold, but also spooked!
.06 – Little Fires Everywhere
Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon are currently making a miniseries based on this novel and I trust them with my lives, so I’ve gotta get ahead of the game and read it before the series comes out!

Experiencing Chloe Brown’s journey of counting the moments and making moments count, this book is a great reminder & inspiration to make the most of your days, despite bumps along the way.

For anyone who is interested in the inner workings of our mind, this book dives deep into understanding how the brain works and the impact trauma has on individuals and society
