For our quiet times at home, books are the best companions. Because I love reading as much as you do, I’ll share my *secret* list of books I read and loved with you. It’s almost 100% non-fiction, and those are the ones I learned from the most (I’m not sharing the bad ones I read because I don’t remember them *wink*).
Check it out:
My Personal Recommendation: Audiobooks
Almost all of the books I’ve read are audiobooks I’ve listened to. It’s faster, cheaper, and takes less space in your home, and you can listen to them on your way to work, while doing sports, or walking.
