My Reading List
I keep a running reading list on my Wunderlist app. Whenever I get a book recommendation or discover an interesting new book, I'll add it to my list. A lot of you requested for me to talk more about books, so today I want to share the books that I'm looking to read this year (and in years to come) as well as the list of all the books that I've read in the past few years. Get ready for an epic list of great reads…
The way I read is, I read one book at a time. I try to read at least 10 pages a day before bed. Last year, this pace allowed me to read 12 books. This year, my goal is to read 15 books.
When I've finished reading a book and it’s time to choose my next book, I go over my reading list and choose whatever feels right to me at the moment. Maybe I'm just curious about a certain book, or I need more guidance on a topic at the moment, or I want to focus on a specific area of my life. I let my intuition lead. When I felt disconnected with my soul, I turned to A Return to Love. And when I felt like I needed a good laugh, I opened up the new Mindy Kaling memoir. I hope you can find something inspiring in the lists below.
