15 Books I Want to Read in 2021

January 28, 2021

When it comes to books, I am typically only reading two genres: self-help/personal development, or psychological thrillers (two extremes right haha). Reading for pleasure is something that I have always enjoyed, so I am trying to incorporate this pastime into my daily routine (’cause ya know, my word for 2021 is “intention“)! Currently, I am reading a chapter or so of a self-help/personal development book in the morning, and then a psychological thriller at night before bed (fingers crossed I don’t have nightmares). That way, I am learning AND enjoying myself!

As someone who cranks out a lot of content, I also have to remember to take in content I enjoy (both similar to AND different than my niche!) to keep the creative juices flowing!

Books I Already Own

  1. Didn’t See That Coming – Rachel Hollis
  2. The Vagina Bible – Jen Gunter
  3. The Survivors – Jane Harper
  4. The Girl in the Mirror – Rose Carlyle
  5. Sharp Objects – Gillian Flynn
  6. Zig Ziglar’s Secrets of Closing the Sale – Zig Ziglar
  7. Untamed – Glennon Doyle
  8. You are a Badass – Jen Sincero
  9. You are a Badass at Making Money – Jen Sincero

Books to Purchase

I am trying not to purchase any of these books until I have finished the ones I already own. We will see how that goes though lol…

  1. The Lazy Genius Way – Kendra Adachi
  2. Atomic Habits – James Clear
  3. The Psychology of Money – Morgan Housel
  4. A Promised Land – Barack Obama
  5. Verity – Colleen Hoover
  6. The Big Leap – Gay Hendricks

I am interested to see how many of these books I actually read this year. Here’s to holding myself accountable!!!

What books are on your 2021 “To Be Read” list?
