Some of my Favorite Books

Over at Coalwork we discussed starting a book club for the members. We’re still working out the details and getting interest, but it got me thinking of what books I would recommend to the group as well as ones I want to read. I’ve decided to compile a short list here.

Books I’ve Read*:

*I left books like The Harry Potter Series and The Hunger Games series off because at this point, I don’t think I need to recommend them.

On my Reading List:

Over the summer I decided to read before bed instead of watching TV, but got away from that after I finished reading The Book Thief. Now I have my (very) short list here, a much longer list at home, and it’s getting longer, so I’d like to get back into doing that! I’ll start with The Ghost of my Father and go from there!

I’m also up for recommendations, so leave them in the comments!

    5 Insanely Impactful Books That Helped My Business
