I love books. I’m a communications major; nothing excites me more than strong storytelling. Unfortunately, I’m a bad procrastinator, and I get distracted easily. This is not the best combo when your New Year’s resolution has been “read more books” for the past four years…
Well, it’s a new decade. I have renewed hope that, in 2020, I’ll make more time to read. Why? Because I’ve decided to take it step by step, one title per month! Publishing this list, which only includes books written by women, is my way of staying accountable to this goal.
Immersing ourselves in a well-written story can be therapeutic because reading proves the self-care we so often forget about in our busy lives. I hope these reads delight you, make you think, and inspire you to make more time for books!
