From the Favorites Shelf
Dear Reader,
Books will always be near and dear to my heart. When I don’t know something, I can surely learn it through books. When I identify a pain point in my life, books are there for me to help learn my way out of pain.
Over the past few years, I’ve accumulated a library of over 100 books, most of which I have read cover to cover.
In that library, I have an aesthetic white floating shelf I refer to as my “favorites shelf.” At any given time, there are between 13 and 20 books on that shelf ranked in order of how much I liked them. Below is the current configuration of my favorites shelf.
