I am an avid reader and devour any book that crosses my path. I’m all over the spectrum when it comes to genres. I love thrillers, true crime, and basically anything Oprah tells me to read. In the past couple of years I’ve been adding marketing, entrepreneurial, & online marketing books to the rotation.

These books have helped to motivate me to blog more and to turn my blogging into a business where I make thousands a month easily.

I’ve rounded up the books that I found to be the most relevant & still inspirational to this day.
