I love to read, and at any point in time, there’s a stack of books on my bookshelf waiting to be read. I’m switching from novels and memoirs to self-development books, science or business books. I’m interested in everything, and I love to go from one genre to another. And I’m already looking forward to the next book I’ll read.
I believe that the books are the best gifts. I love to recommend, lend, or give the books I read and loved to my friends. Books are great conversation starters and a beautiful way to share and learn about beliefs, opinions, and wisdom of others.
I shared my favorite books from 2016 in January, and you can read about them here. I’m sharing my 2017 favorites now since I’m sure this list can serve as a gift guide. I believe it might help you in your Christmas shopping.
