I read 21 books this last year. Most were pretty good, a few were pretty bad!

I enjoy hearing what others are reading and frequently add their recommendations to my list, so I thought I would share some of my favorites with you to help jump start your 2024 reading list.

Additional Resources:

• All 21 books on Amazon
• My blog post with a short summary of all 21 books
• WATCH this episode on YouTube
