Last week, I told you all about my favorite books from 2024, and this week I'm going to tell

you all about what I plan to read in 2025.

You're listening to Work and Play with Nancy Ray, episode 266. Much of our daily lives can

be divided into two categories, work and play. Simply put,

that's where our life and our legacy take place. This is a podcast all about learning to work

and play well, which leads to a healthy soul and a fulfilling life. Listen in.

Well, last week I feel like I just did a deep dive and told you all about the favorite books that I read in 24 and talked about them in detail. And this week, I think it's going to be a little bit more

once a month. Well, honestly, I do it probably every

other month or maybe once a quarter, but still it's so worth it to me. And just went last weekend

and it was so good. And then lastly, I got a Kindle. And I've only ever read paper, real live

books before. And I am so enjoying the Kindle. I've only had it for a week,

and I've already read a pretty lengthy book on it because it's just a lot easier to read and

just tapping through the pages. So just wanted to say, all that's going well so far this year,

and I highly recommend if you have not created an account on Goodreads

to do that. It's just a great way to track your reading. I'm going to try to leave a link to my

profile in the show notes of this episode because I had someone ask on Instagram, like,
