When it comes to books I have two favorite genres, Fantasy and Self Improvement, so those are what my book recommendations consist of. While these genres could not be more opposite, they bring the perfect balance of fun and practicality to my life. I read Fantasy books to escape from my day-to-day and get lost in another place. And the Self Improvement books are because I believe that we should never stop learning and growing.
I gave up reading Fiction books for years because I felt like I didn’t have time to get sucked into a book. But in 2020, I picked up a new Fantasy book and I’ve been fervently reading ever since. I aim to read at least one fiction book each month. My favorite Fantasy book, so far, is House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas. I have a post rounding up all of my favorite Fantasy books from 2020.
Self Improvement books have been my main reading material since becoming a parent. I constantly found myself challenged and eager to be a better person. I typically share a book review of each self-improvement book I read, just to share my experience and what I learned. Some of the books I review are about motherhood, like Slay Like a Mother. Others are just about regaining simplicity in life, like More Than Enough.
