I read so many great books this year that I can’t wait to share with you! And since the year isn’t over, I’m not done reading yet and have even more favorites to add (How Not To Die and The Collapse of Parenting are a couple of recent favorites.)
I love to keep track of the books I read to prove to myself that I’m learning. There are loads of ways to track your books, but I like to keep it low-tech in the Thriving in Motherhood Planner monthly review page.
Keeping track helps me get a better picture of where my time and energy went as a whole, and it is part of my game plan for combatting the lie that “all I do is…”
Plus, what you focus on grows - and I want reading to be a foundational part of who I am because it makes life richer, deeper, and much more interesting.
So, without further ado, here are my 12 favorite books I read this year:
Forty Autumns
Building Your Second Brain
What Would You Do If You Weren’t Afraid
Mothering By The Book
How The Word Is Passed
Think Again
The Self-Driven Child
The Sleep Fix
Hunt, Gather, Parent
Heaven Is For Real
The Battle Plan For Prayer
Awaking Wonder
