Last year book review

Here are the books and ratings of my last year book reads ❣️📚 plan to read at least 12 this year 📚📚📚📚 #yearlyreading

2025/1/13 Edited to

Reflecting on the past year, I read a diverse range of books that have significantly influenced my perspective and knowledge. Among my favorites were 'Atomic Habits' by James Clear, which offers actionable strategies for personal growth and habit formation. The engaging narrative of 'The Vixen Diaries' captivated me with its real-life stories, making it a delightful read. Additionally, Sarah Jakes Roberts' 'You Got Anything Stronger?' challenged my thinking and sparked deep conversations about resilience and faith. As I plan to tackle at least 12 books this year, I'm excited to explore different genres, from self-help to fiction, and hopefully share more insights with fellow book enthusiasts. I encourage everyone to join the #yearlyreading challenge and discover new literary gems that inspire and inform.

Book Review 📚

If you are easily triggered, this may not be a book you would want to read. In order to go out into society and experience others without judgement, we have to know where they came from. The author perfectly illustrates the lives of four young, Black men who died very young. Their tragic deaths sho
