#WinterABC Day 20 |5 Books Everyone Should Read

I love to read and it’s something I am really proud to add to my dating bio (in my head that is). Over the years I have devoured some cool books that you ought to try if you haven’t.

The Bible

If you ever going to read one book for the rest of your life please pick up the Bible. The Good Lord gave us his word that has everything you need to be a successful business owner, wife/husband and he even includes how you can be successful in managing your money.

To Kill A Mockingbird-Harper Lee 

I love this book so much!!! When I first read it, I wanted to be a hotshot lawyer fighting for reproductive rights and representing children from families divorcing. I wanted to be an ATTICUS. I wanted to change the world 🙈 and I still do but not as a hotshot lawyer now. I have been naming all my laptops Atticus for a while now (so cheesy huh)

Quotables from the book: 

“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view … Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”

“It’s never an insult to be called what somebody thinks is a bad name. It just shows you how poor that person is, it doesn’t hurt you.”

The Alchemist-Paulo Coelho

One word-incredible.

Quotables from the book:

“So, I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you.”

“The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.”

Malcolm Gladwell-The Outliers 

I didn’t know who Malcolm was till a former friend introduced me to him and I liked him so much. He had some smart things to say and I think you should give the fella a shot

Quotable Quote From The Book:

“Practice isn’t the thing you do once you’re good. It’s the thing you do that makes you good.”

This Is Just My Face: Try Not To Stare -Gabourey Sidibe

I related to this book so much as someone who sometimes had to imagine myself a little different.

Quotable Quotes  From The Book:

“People always ask me, ‘You have so much confidence. Where did that come from?’ It came from me. One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl … It doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see. Your body is your temple, it’s your home, and you must decorate it.”

“My beauty doesn’t come from a mirror. Never has and never will.”

What book should I read? Comment below and I will go find it (Thanks!)
