Raise your hand if you’re into input and constantly trying to better yourself ????????‍♀️

I’m always looking for ways to improve me, myself and I. Whether that’s filling my ears with podcasts, reading the latest blogs, playing an audio book or as of late — kicking up my feet and diving in to an old fashion paper book.

With the new year in full swing, I thought I’d fill you in on the little reading list I put together with books I have on my 2019 radar to either read or listen to — along with favorites I already have in my library.

I’ve broken down each book by category for your browsing needs.

Warning: you will not find any fiction in this list :).
