One of the goals I set at the start of the year was to read 52 books. It’s still debatable if I’ll hit my goal but I’m working hard to reach it. It’s not uncommon for me to be asked what I’m reading, what I recommend reading, and what was just an “okay” read so I thought it would be fun to pull together a list of 18 books I read in 2018 that I think others should read in 2019. So here it is (in no particular order)…
1. I Am That Girl by Alexis Jones (I’m actually still reading this but really enjoying it)
2. 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth by John C Maxwell
3. Dare to Lead by Brene Brown
4. Crushing It by Gary Vaynerchuck
5. Mindset by Carol Dweck
6. Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics by Dan Harris, Jeffrey Warren, and Carlye Adler
7. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by JK Rowling
8. Girl Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis
9. You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay
10. The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman
11. Linchpin by Seth Godin
12. The Yamas and Niyamas by Deborah Adele
13. Grit by Angela Duckworth
14. Judgment Detox by Gabrielle Bernstein
15. The Power of Habit by Charles Duhig
16. The Wisdom of Sundays by Oprah Winfrey
17. When to Jump by Mike Lewis
18. How to Stop Feeling like Shit by Andrea Owen
Obviously, these aren’t all new books, but this was the first time I read them and I’d recommend each of them. They’re obviously also a mix of personal development, business, and fun. I also re-read the entire Laura Ingalls Wilder series from my childhood which if you haven’t read them (or even if you have but haven’t since you were a kid) and you’re just looking for a fun, easy read, definitely enjoy the nostalgia of re-reading them!
What books have you read in 2018 you’d suggest adding to my reading list?

I read “The Power of Habit” for a book club and thought it was really interesting! I just finished Peter Sagal’s “The Incomplete Book of Running” and really enjoyed that, too. I’ve also been liking Taylor Jenkins Reid books recently (I’ve listened to those).
Dude, awesome list of books!! Did you enjoy “Girl, wash your face”?! I’ve heard so many mixed reviews but it’s been on my list forever. The 5 Love Languages is so good! Thank you for sharing; a lot on here that I’d like to check out 🙂
This is a great list! I’m actually very curious about the last book “How To Stop Feeling Like S#it” – I think it sounds like kind of a relate-able read! I might have to check out the Oprah book too!
From your list, I’ve only read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. It’s been a couple years since I’ve read it too, so I really need to do a re-read!
