Reading list for 2023 holiday season, Business books, inspirational books, books to build confidence

A Curated Reading List for the Holidays from Your Personal Book Whisperer 🌟🎁🎉✨

Nighttime is when I read. After a long day working on client work (which also requires reading), and preparing LinkedIn posts, and meeting with new writers, I read fiction. The only fiction I will share today is from our client, Dr. Bruce Farmer. If you like thrillers, his book is definitely for you. The rest of the list is nonfiction and is what I call required reading.

Hmmm, I am sharing a unique book about a dog, also. Read on to the end to discover that one. I think it’s worth adding to any reading list this holiday season. You might be surprised by it.
