Books You Might Love
Here are some of my favorite books I'd recommend, organized by topic, as well as a few on my own TBR list.
​
You can purchase them to be delivered right to your door from Bookshop.org. Why do I have them linked to Bookshop.org? Because this non-profit allows you to link your order to your own local independent bookstore and that bookstore will receive all the profits from your order. I love books and I love bookstores, but I also understand the convenience of online ordering. Bookshop.org is a happy medium for when I can't get to my local store.
Other great options are to check out the book - hard copy, ebook, or audio book - from your local library, see if someone is selling a copy on Marketplace, buy it used through Thriftbooks.com, or again support your local bookstore by purchasing it as an audiobook through Libro.fm (instead of through Audible).
