What books do you want to read?
A topic about books! Whoo Hoo! I could write about books for days…lol I will keep it short though.
My top 5 books that I would like to read this year are as follows:
- The Year of the Locust by Terry Hayes. I read I Am Pilgrim when it launched, loved it, and had given up hope that this book would ever be published. It’s been almost nine years. I hope it’s worth the wait.
- Educated by Tara Westover – this book was recommended by a fellow blogger earlier this month. I am looking forward to getting a copy.
- Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that can’t stop talking by Susan Cain. I have owned this book since it launched, and I think it is finally time for me to read it. (Do you also believe that every book has its time?)
- Women Who Run With Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. I am just curious about this book.
- Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson. I have yet to finish his biography of Einstein, and I would also like to get through this book. Da Vinci was a fascinating person.
What are you looking forward to reading this year? I have set myself a goal of 45 books this year, so I am open to recommendations.
Thanks for popping by. Be Blessed.

I have the Susan Cain book and enjoyed it. My husband bought the Leonardo da Vinci book. I started but didn’t finish it!

I read Educated – a riveting and shocking book. Hard to believe family dynamics and lifestyles as described in the book, actually exist especially in First World countries. Years ago I owned a copy of Woman who etc … it didn’t do much for me at the time, although it was a huge hit, & I donated the book . Hopefully it will appeal to you. Happy reading!

Hi. Thanks for sharing your experiences of both books. I am quite curious about that lifestyle so I am sure I will enjoy Educated.
With regards to Woman …wolves 🤪 I did see that the reviews have been a mixed bag but who knows, maybe there is a nugget tucked in there for me.🤷🏽♀️😊

I am glad you enjoyed it! Have you read any by Paulo Coelho? Eleven Minutes, Zahir, and Brida by him are my favourite 😊

Yes I have read a few including Eleven Minutes. I enjoyed it as well although I found his writing didn’t flow the way it usually does. I still need to read Zahir and Brida. The Witch of Portobello was a bit dark. I didn’t get to the end of it.
