Recapping My 2023 Reading List

One of my goals with this year’s book list was to embrace escapism more. The previous year, I was nose-deep in heavy nonfiction and fiction topics, which really brought my mood down. It started to make reading feel like a chore. Not good for an avid reader. So this year, I decided to lighten up.…

I feel the same way about…

Every year, I try to pick a reading list with a good mix of fiction and nonfiction because I have no idea what kind of mood I’ll be in that year. Sometimes, I lean into fiction because I need an escape. Others, I lean into nonfiction because I want to learn about things I don’t…

Recapping My 2020 Reading List

One of my goals for 2020 was to read more. A few years ago, I got back into reading for pleasure after years of reading for the sole purpose of advancing my education or career (both of which destroyed the enjoyment aspect of reading for a hot minute). And in 2019, I managed to get…
