Is it so terribly wrong that I’m already starting my reading list for 2019 when I’m still behind on finishing the last two for this year?
I got so excited with the list I have that I’ve just been researching, researching until I fell into this rabbit hole of anecdotal discovery.
- The Lessons of History
- What are the possibilities of humanity? Where did it start and where does the potential go? Questions I believe we should all ponder as we look to past generations and hope for new.
- The Sun and Her Flowers – Rupi Kaur
- I received this for Christmas and finished it before the clock struck twelve on the 26th. It’s a great follow up novel to Milk & Honey. If you love soft poetry colored with beautiful personification, grab it off the shelf and read it to your beloved.
- Laws of Human Nature
- Robert Greene’s latest that I aim to finish right ater art of seduction
- The Art of Seduction
- a classic Robert Greene providing historical figure’s tools and devices in realizing charm
- Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
- If you haven’t heard about this book, you haven’t been in the literary world recently. Praised by Captain America himself, Chris Evans shared that we must all understand our roots and how it lead our people (all people) to where we are today. I haven’t finished this just yet but I do want to share, this is what our grade school teachers should have taught in history class.
- The Decaying Pillars by Steve Ruygrok
- I know a published author! Proud to be a coworker of his, Steve Ruygrok dropped of this book for me to read before beta reading his next novel.
- Herstory: 50 Women and Girls who shook up the world
- Women lead. Women breathe life. Women are just as important as the men we remember from history. So why aren’t they on a pedestal as much as the great men? Let’s honor the women who long ago have broken the glass ceiling before Sheryl Sandberg.
- East of Eden
- This is a hefty read but who doesn’t love a John Steinbeck classic?
- #GirlBoss
- Sophia Amoruso is a special kind of person. She breaks all the rules and rebels with every bone in her body. I idolize her intrinsic nature to lead, mix personal style with passion and drive to help other women strive for what they deem as success.
- The Golden Compass
- This is a must purely because I received the collection (#11, #12 below as well) as a christmas gift more than 2 years ago now.
- The Subtle Knife
- The Amber SpyGlass
- An absent mind
- alzheimer’s touches me deeply with it taken my grandfather not long ago. This story follows a man’s struggle with the disease and the effect to his family in the final days.
- Getting to Know Gen Z .pdf
- I feel old when Gen Z is the major topic of discussion and no longer the “entitled” millennials. I will say after finishing this PDF earlier this month, it made me realize the affects my parents had in raising me with a “can do” attitude and how it lead my generation to come off as “entitled.” Gen Z is the safer generation learning from the failures of mine and reaching further than my cohorts did in fighting for their beliefs. Not just racial, gender, and sexual orientation equality but also a long winded battle for environmental conservation, social imprint in bringing people together and much more. They have a louder voice than we did and it makes me so happy, we’re all leaning in and learning from generations younger than ourselves.
- The Autobiography of Malcom X
- this was a recommendation and I honestly haven’t researched much.
- Michelle Obama’s Becoming
- Top seller towards end of 2018, Michelle Obama is a powerhouse but continues to spread kindness.
- The Power by Naomi Alderman
- What would happen if young women had superpowers balancing the status quo between genders? Will there be a shift in the superior gender juxtaposed to what it is now IRL? I’m curious to read
- On Writing by Stephen King
-
Unlimited Memory: How to Use Advanced Learning Strategies to Learn Faster, Remember More and be More Productive
- The Day the World Came to Town
- Come from Away, the Tony award winning musical guided me to understanding what I could not comprehend at age 11 when 9/11 had happened. I was 4 years into arriving on American soil, still picking up the English language when my 6th grade teacher made us all stand staring at the TV showing the planes flying into the Twin Towers. The Day the World Came to Town is a tribute to the kindness in others when the US needed it the most. Newfies (the locals in Newfoundland) took in the stranded for 5 days and showed a kindness I never thought could exist. We all think of how crude this world can be, but here was a pocket of land where people only shared kindness. It’s right there, above where we live and we just need to adopt that same philosophy. Help those in need, spread love and kindness, and give hope where we can. We’re all brothers and sisters to the land Mother Nature gave us, so why do draw lines on a map dividing each other?
- Crazy Rich Asians
- For the light hearted who want nothing but hilarity and couture mixed with of course much needed old school Chinese tradition.
