I have read a lot of books that I have loved. I’m not going to share all of them here, but this is a big list of some of my favourite books that I recommend. They are in no particular order. Many of these books could fit into more than one category. You may think a particular book belongs in a different category than I’ve placed it. There are no right or wrong’s to the categories, I’ve just chosen one that I though worked.
If you are interested in learning more about one of these books just click on the title. If you have a great book that you would like to suggest, please leave it in the comments at the bottom!
