cheers to 2022
Issue 65 - December 31st, 2021
As we close down another crazy year, I wanted to take my short post today to highlight and recommend some of my favorite books from this year that you may want to check out in the upcoming year. I am an avid reader of physical books and I also devour books on Audible when I exercise. I read or listened to almost 1 book per week in 2021, and I hope to continue my streak in 2022! I am a big proponent of lifelong learning, and I love to read and bend my mind to learn new things every single day. This list below is a collection of some of my favorite titles I read this past year, and I would love if you would share some of your favorites back with me! I hope you have an incredible weekend ahead, and most importantly let’s all work to make 2022 a year that we all never forget in positive ways.
