The 7 Best Books to Read in 2021

the 7 best books to read in 2021.jpg

Winter weather in Kansas City can go from the 60s and sunny to the 20s with drizzling rain. The crazy changes in temperature along with the fact that we are still living through a pandemic are making me look for ways to better myself in the warmth of my home… like reading in front of the fireplace.

Reading has always been a passion of mine, from a young age. So recently I decided to revisit my old hobby. I purchased Mariah Carey’s autobiography, Rich Dad Poor Dad, The Home Edit, and The Power of a Praying Wife. Each book serves a specific purpose in my life as a woman, wife, and entrepreneur. Being a millennial woman is so multifaceted. We’re wives, managing our careers, becoming financially conscious, maintaining our homes, and so much more. Women tend to do a whole lot for others and never think of themselves. Stop that.

I encourage you to read or gift one of the 7 best books to read in 20201 today! Pick up a new hobby like reading and you won’t be disappointed, sis!

About The Meaning of Mariah

The global icon, award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, actress, mother, daughter, sister, storyteller, and artist finally tells the unfiltered story of her life in The Meaning of Mariah Carey.

This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

Writing this memoir was incredibly hard, humbling, and healing. My sincere hope is that you are moved to a new understanding, not only about me but also about the resilience of the human spirit.

 
 
 

About Rich Dad Poor Dad

Rich Dad Poor Dad is Robert's story of growing up with two dads — his real father and the father of his best friend, his rich dad — and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing.

The book explodes the myth that you need to earn a high income to be rich and explains the difference between working for money and having your money work for you.

 

About The Home Edit

You just need to know how to set up a system that works for you.

In the next phase of the home organizing craze, Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin go beyond the pantry and bookshelf to show you how to contain the chaos in all aspects of your life, from office space and holiday storage to luggage and pet supplies. Get to know your organizing style, tailor it to your family’s lifestyle, and lead the low-guilt life as you apply more genius ideas to every aspect of your life.

Clea and Joanna are here to remind you that “it’s okay to own things” in the quest for pretty and smart spaces. With The Home Edit Life, you’ll soon be corralling phone cords, archiving old photos, arranging your phone apps by color, and packing your suitcase like a pro.
