As someone who didn’t graduate from high school, I didn’t think I’d enjoy reading as much as I do.
I set aside 1–2 hours each day to read, focusing almost entirely on non-fiction. I love diving into subjects that spark my curiosity, whether that means picking up a new skill or improving one I already practice.
This page is where I share the books I’ve read and my honest opinions about them. If you’re searching for something specific, feel free to use the filters or search tool to find what you’re looking for.
