My Top 13 Must-Read Books

Who doesn’t love a good ol’ book?  And if you don’t….  sorry, we just can’t be friends.  Because there’s nothing I love to do more in this world than flip through the pages of a good book as I lay on the beach #livingmybestlife.  (If you watch my IG stories, you’ll know I’m at the beach reading a book almost every day…)

And want to know why?  Because READING IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL!  And for the head!  And for your life… just pick up the damn thang!

And, LIFE IS ABOUT LEARNING!!!  Learning about new ways on how to perceive the world as we know it…  Books can teach us soooo much knowledge, people!  AND KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!!  Do you want to be a bad bitch or not?!

So, I decided to compile a few of my FAVORITE reads because people so often ask me what I’m reading at the beach.  I even linked all the books to Amazon so that you can easily buy them wink winkYOU’RE WELCOME!
