Oh, hey you! How are ya?

All is great over here. This Summer has literally flown by and there’s lots happening (which to be fair is kinda weird after 1.5 years with very little going on)

I wanted to share a fun little post with some book suggestions in honour of National Book Lovers Day which was yesterday!📚

I always love finding inspiration for new books on Instagram + blogs and thought maybe you do too?

Sometimes I am just really in the mood for something fun, light, and just a book that will make me feel good. I definitely am a huge lover of fiction too but also really love a general happy/feel-good pick!

Here are some great books I recommend if you want to feel inspired, cozy, warm, capable, and excited:

✨The Little Book Of Hygge by Meik Wiking - This is one I will always recommend because it kinda changed my life! As Summer winds down and we get closer to a new season. It’s time to start learning about how to get your hygge on.

Nothing Much Happens by Kathryn Nicoli - My brother got this for me for Christmas and I fell in love with both the book and podcast by Kathryn. She is so calming, soothing, and exactly what you need if you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed or anxious.

Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert - I was quite late to the party on this one but I really liked it! It was just what I needed and it actually really inspired me to just kinda go for it. I loved hearing about Elizabeth’s view on life and love, success, etc!

Untamed by Glennon Doyle - This feels like a no-brainer and one loved by many. I just feel like every woman specifically needs to read this book. It’s quick, easy, inspiring, and a great reminder that we can do hard things.

Work Party by Jaclyn Johnson - I loved this one because I tend to nerd out to all things work/career-related as they related to people’s journey to find success through their work. I loved hearing about Jaclyn’s journey and found this to be a quick and lovely read.

Joyful by Ingrid Fetel-Lee - I am such a huge fan of Ingrid. She is my kinda person! She is an advocate for joy, love, and happiness and spreads it through her entire brand which I adore. Joyful is SUCH a cool book that dives into how certain experiences, moments, and things in our life bring us joy and why!

Have you read any of these books?! I am excited to share my cozy fall picks with you in September too! 🍂
