2024 Reading List
2024 Reading List

Happy Friday, glow getters! As I continue to ease into the new year and gear up for the big 4-0 in August, I've got an incredible lineup of books planned. Some of you might recall my pride and excitement in reading 12 books back in 2022. While achieving that goal meant the world to me, I've since learned that it's more valuable to take my time and fully digest a book rather than sticking to a timeline. With that in mind, I may or may not get to or through all the books on my list. However, book 1 holds my unwavering commitment, as I know it will leave the most profound impact. So, let's dive into my list, and I'd love for you to join me in exploring these books.
