Books I ♥

In my teens and early tweens, I would’ve preferred watching paint dry over picking up a book! Seriously, that’s how boring I thought reading was. Now, looking back, I can’t help but wish I’d discovered the magic of books sooner. If you’re nodding along thinking reading’s a snooze-fest, this blog is for you.

Below, I’ve rounded up some real gems — books I’ve devoured, loved, and raved about to anyone who’ll listen. To keep things simple, I’ve focused on my top three favorite genres: self-help, history, and personal finance. These are the books I swear by!

And if you’re more of a visual learner, don’t miss out on the Book Summaries YouTube Playlist.
