That being said, it is more than fitting my first book review is on one of my favorite reads this year “The Defining Decade: Why your twenties matter-and how to make the most of them now” by Meg Jay, PhD. My main focus will be books I believe twenty-somethings should read. I decided instead of just reading these books, taking notes, and going on the next book, I wanted to start sharing the books I really liked with my readers by starting a new series dedicated to reviewing books I’ve read. While I can’t say I’ve managed to do that…I am pretty close to having read 7 books so far this year. As I mentioned in a previous post, one of my goals this year was to read one book a month, every month. There are fewer things as of late that make me happier than chilling in my bed with a book and reading right before I go to sleep. ![]() ![]() ![]() La edición de aniversario del libro de finanzas personales número 1 del mundo.Įl autor y conferencista Robert T.
