One of the best things that ever happened to us was when one of our best friends decided to start a book club back in 2014. We’ll still remember that first meeting with 30+ girls. Think lack of seating, so much excitement & difficulty getting a word in. In the months that followed, people joined & people left, but what remains is a core group of about 6 of us plus 2 or 3 more who join when they’re able.

We love our book club not only because of the incredible women we get to see on a fairly regular basis (we always shoot for every 4-6 weeks depending on the length of the book we’re reading), but because it inspires thoughtful conversation, provides us with the opportunity to read books we wouldn’t naturally pick up on our own, and it gives us so much more joy & “me time” beyond the hour that’s set aside to meet. Whether or not you’re part of your own book club, we hope you’ll join us in spending at least an hour of the day away from screens & enjoying a book.

Reading has become one of our favorite things to do & we’re so happy about that fact. Our dad was a voracious reader & always said, “finishing a good book is like losing a friend,” and we finally know exactly what he was talking about. Take a look at some of our favorites below. We hope you find what you’re looking for! Click on each book’s cover to be taken to the purchase & thank you for supporting our blog at no additional cost to you by doing so.

Our Reading List

Inspired by Grace from The Stripe, we’ll be listing our favorite books alongside a rating. Keep in mind that everyone’s preferences are different, so our B-rated books might be your A-rated books & vice versa. We’ve gotten something out of every single book on this list, so happy reading!

**We’ll be updating this list whenever we read a new book that we’d recommend, so be sure to bookmark this blog post.

Organized in order of when we read the book (most recent being first):
