The Bookshelf

Today I’m sharing a huge list of books! A while ago I reached out to the Instagram community to ask for book recommendations for different genre’s. I’m so pleased to be able to share this list with you today! I will be updating it as the year progresses so if you have any recommendations let me know in the comments and I’ll add them!

Note #1 Im a HUGE lover of the library and saving money, so I encourage you to look first at your local library to check out a book. I reserve my book purchasing to only ones that truly bring me joy!

Note #2 This page contains links that will take you directly to the item on Amazon Marketplace. I am an Amazon Associate and any purchases that may be completed I will receive a very small commission at no cost to you. Fun fact, any revenue I earn from my Amazon associate status goes directly back into the community through giveaways and shipping costs!

Note #3 In regards to the Spirituality section, just a reminder that there are friends from all across the world who follow different paths. I included books on different religions based on recommendations from followers.

Note #4 If you have a favorite book that falls into one of these categories please feel free to comment on this post or email me with it! I’ll do my best to update this list monthly.

Note #5 Some books fall into multiple categories. I made a judgement call on where they should be filed!
