My 30 Favorite Books I Read My First Year of my Thirties

Listen Later

Last June I turned 30, and I shared a personal episode on the podcats about the 30-things books have taught me in my life. In celebration of my birthday and turning 31, I'm sharing my personal favorite 30 books I've read this last year with all of you. Some of these books made me cry, some of them shocked me, and some gave me the spooks, but all of these books' characters, plots, and stories stuck about because they sank into my soul leaving me to feel that wild and beguile feeling of bewilderment.
