Updated: May 18, 2020


I asked on Instagram for people to share what they're reading right now. Hopefully you get some inspiration from their responses! I included the synopses from online sources as well.


Know My Name

Written by the victim in the Brock Turner sexual assault case, Chanel Miller's story illuminates a culture biased to protect perpetrators, indicts a criminal justice system designed to fail the most vulnerable, and, ultimately, shines with the courage required to move through suffering and live a full and beautiful life.


The Defining Decade

Drawing on more than ten years of work, the author provides the tools necessary to make the most of your twenties, and shows how work, relationships, personality, social networks, identity, and even the brain can change more during this decade than any other time in adulthood–if we use this time well.


The Betrothed

Set in Lombardy during the Spanish occupation of the late 1620s, this is the story of two young lovers prevented from marrying. A story of enduring passion, this is one of the greatest European historical novels.

Renegades

The Renegades are a syndicate of prodigies — humans with extraordinary abilities who established peace and order where chaos reigned. They remain a symbol of hope and courage to everyone…except the villains they once overthrew. Nova is on a mission for vengeance. As she gets closer to her target, she meets Adrian, a Renegade boy who believes in justice — and in Nova. But Nova’s allegiance is to a villain who has the power to end them both. Mindset: The New Psychology of Success

After decades of research, world-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., discovered a simple but groundbreaking idea: the power of mindset. In this brilliant book, she shows how success in school, work, sports, the arts, and almost every area of human endeavor can be dramatically influenced by how we think about our talents and abilities.


Love Does: Discover a Secretly Incredible Life in an Ordinary World

In Love Does, Bob Goff shares remarkable stories from his life and shows how living and loving to the fullest is the best way to make Jesus known in this world.


Taking Charge of Your Fertility

Toni Weschler has taught a whole new generation of women how to become pregnant, avoid pregnancy naturally and gain better control of their gynecological and sexual health by taking just a couple minutes a day using the proven Fertility Awareness Method.


God Loves Me and I Love Myself: Overcoming the Resistance to Loving Yourself

So many struggle in a daily battle that keeps them from the freedom that love has. In this book, the author utilizes his personal freedom experience and over 20 years working with people to unlock the missing link to powerful relationships. Readers can learn to love themselves, break out of self-defeating patterns, and transform their relationships.


My American Journey

Born in Harlem to immigrant parents from Jamaica, Colin knew the rough life of the streets. He overcame a barely average start at school. Then he joined the Army. The rest is history—Vietnam, the Pentagon, Panama, Desert Storm—but a history that until now has been known only on the surface. Here, for the first time, Colin Powell himself tells us how it happened, in a memoir distinguished by a heartfelt love of country and family, warm good humor, and a soldier's directness.
