As we get close to the end of the year, let’s take a look back at our 2022 reading list. Or listening list, as most of it happens to be. Keeping in mind that we didn’t have any set goal for how much or what we would read. And giving ourself permission to move onto a new book without finishing our current one is new, and I think helped us keep reading instead of getting stuck reading something that wasn’t resonating at the time.

Click on each title to read more information about each book. If you end up making a purchase we may receive a small commission.
