About a week ago, I put a question out to my Instagram community. I asked for book recommendations since I was struggling with a book that I was reading. And wow, did they deliver!

After looking at all of these books on Goodreads, I as so excited to read more this year. I think I’m going to start at the top of this list and work my way through.

I’ll use a combination of the Libby App by Overdrive to access e-books and audiobooks from my local library as well as borrowing physical copies of books from my local library.

I would consider it a huge accomplishment to read all of these books this year! However, it’s fine if I don’t too 🙂

Who’s with me?
