life-changing books to cozy up with 🛋️🕯️📖🍵
I could reread all of these books once every few years and have a totally different experience. as I grow and evolve, the information in these books resonates in totally different ways. I almost think of these like manuals rather than a fun book that you read cover to cover. I keep them nearby
