The Books That Made Me

The Books That Made Me

Most people who know me in real life know that I’m an avid lifelong reader. At any given time I’m reading a book, listening to a book on audible, and have a “to be read” pile a mile tall. In honor of turning 30 next week, I wanted to list out the “30 Books that Made Me”. The books that I’ve read that have become part of me. This is just a sampling of the books I’ve read, but some of these have stuck with me from the time I was a kid, others are beloved favorites I come back to every so often.
