The Little Things
January 6, 2014

One of my challenges for 2013 was to read 12 books. I went straight from high school to college to grad school, and in that time almost all the books I read were from school. Once I graduated from grad school, I was trying to establish myself as a counselor, and continued to read all sorts of counseling material. I learned a lot, but I realized that I really was missing reading for fun. Besides the magazines I read regularly (Runner’s World, Real Simple, Psychology Today, & Psychotherapy Networker) and the numerous other journal articles I read (whether for writing other articles, the lectures I give, or for clients I’m seeing), I wanted to get a balance of reading for fun and education this year. I was a little nervous about managing to get in 13 books, but I blew it out of the water. Here’s what I read:

Mental Health

Health

Lighthearted Enjoyment

So that’s 18 full books and 1 half book throughout the year. I’ve already started to accumulate a list of mental health/other type of educational books for the coming year, but I’m looking for some lighthearted “for fun” books too! Any suggestions?

Now it’s your turn to share! Do you have any books that you read multiple times? Are you a reader? Finally- any suggestions for my book list this coming year?

    Read something by Kate Morton! Her books are long and look daunting, but once you get started they are so captivating that you can’t put them down!! The Secret Keeper is my favorite.
