Take a look at my library 🙂. Disclaimer: these are not all the books I read. In between dense reads, I often enjoy picking up a cheesy romance novel!

On my bedside table 📖

• All About Love by Bell Hooks
• The Body Keeps Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma by Bessel van der Kolk M.D.

On the shelf 📚

• Ethics in the Real World by Peter Singer | #ethics
• The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion | #biography #death
• A Promised Land by Barack Obama | #biography

Finished Reading ⭐

The 5-star rating system should be taken with a grain of salt! I tend to do a lot of research on books I decide to read, so they end up being great reads. The quotes are my favorite excerpts.
