As requested, an updated reading list.
This one is made up of either recent recommendations or what I’ve picked up/downloaded (books = instant gratification when you can download them) in the last few weeks. I’ve tried to organize them, but take a look and leave a comment if you have any suggestions! Here’s the initial list I made. I’m currently reading through Backwards in High Heels: The Impossible Art of Being Female, The Only Astrology Book You’ll Ever Need – seems legit so far, and Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior. I usually won’t have the chance to read a book from start to finish (as I could when I had less responsibilities and more time to read… shoutout to the Harry Potter days) so I will read a few at the same time in bits as I can. Some of these I have read, and some are still on my list and I at least think they’re at least worth picking up. Enjoy!

- Reinventing Mona – Jennifer Coburn

- Skinny Bitch – while I don’t endorse the lifestyle/whatever you say this book preaches, I think the way it’s written and how the information is presented makes it easy to understand and learn what they mean, even though what they’re saying is on the extreme. It’s funny. It’s like Babe Walker style, if you’re into that.
