This is such a great list of meaningful books.

I honestly shy away from nonfiction because reading is my escape time. However, I am going to make it a point to try to read one nonfiction book a year. It’s always great to keep learning!

I’m a pediatric nurse practitioner who is also board certified as a pediatric mental health specialist (within the realm of primary care). I’m intrigued by your 2 book choices about children and will check them out! I see a lot of anxiety in my patients, which is why I pursued the certification. I definitely think social media has a lot to do with it.

In reply to LisaNotes. I am glad Biden at least commuted those 37. While I can understand the emotion that some people may deserve to pay the ultimate price for their crimes, the government should set an example of what not to do, such as kill people. Once society deems that some people’s lives are worthless, such a mindset begins to apply itself elsewhere - the homeless, the addicted, the mentally I’ll, etc.

“The Anxious Generation” interests me. As a single mom of a young child, I am intentional in raising my kid to become resilient and learning to advocate for herself. As a child, I felt gaslit about every decision I made believing it wasn’t the best one or that I was acting too rowdy when I was really acting with passion. That was how I became a very self-conscious adult. I am working to unlearn that as an adult because I realized the things I learned as a child hasn’t allowed me to be the best version of myself.

In reply to Kathryn Trask.

I’m glad you are able to sleep better doing that, Kathryn! On those nights when I absolutely can’t fall back asleep, podcasts are still my go-to thing also. I have a playlist of “Night” podcasts – episodes that aren’t too serious or mentally stimulating. ha. We each have to do what works for us. 🙂

In reply to Olivia.

What did you think of today’s news of Biden commuting 37 sentences? I was hoping he would come through. I wonder if he’ll stick to just 37 or make it 40 by the end of his term.
I’m off now to look at your blog to see the reading challenges you’ll be doing in 2025! Happy Holidays to you, too, Olivia!

In reply to Lydia C. Lee. Yes, I agree that books can open our minds! It's a beautiful thing that happens as a result of doing something we love anyway (reading!). :)
