After my daughter was born, I took a break from reading. Finding time was a challenge and I often felt exhausted, making it hard to stay motivated. My mind was occupied with new responsibilities, and when I did have a chance to unwind, reading wasn’t my first choice. But, I truly missed it and looked forward to getting back to it.

This year, I set a reading challenge goal using Goodreads. I aimed to be realistic and settled on a total of 30 books to read. To my surprise, I have already reached that goal with 4 months to spare! I’m excited to share that list with you in the hopes of inspiring you to dive back into reading or to discover a new book to try.
