Summary
I managed to plow through about 85-ish books in 2023. And I say "ish" because there are still a few days left, and I tend to go on a reading spree during Christmas break.
Why did I read those 85-ish books? Simple—I love reading. I mean, I was that odd kid bringing books to sleepovers back in elementary school. For me, wisdom is like gold, and books are the cheapest, fastest way to the life you want. Check out my top 5 favorite reads of 2023, and if you wanna crush it in 2024, snag my book All It Takes Is a Goal and join my FREE Fail-Proof Resolutions challenge.
