Learning from Books

I have been loving my year in reading so far. Being in a book club has expanded my fiction reading into genres I probably wouldn't have explored. My nonfiction reading has been good as well. I love that I can just choose a book to read and learn from. Right now I'm reading Eleanor Roosevelt's autobiography. I have learned a lot about her and grown to love the unapologetic person that she was, and I have learned some things about history that aren't taught in schools through her firsthand accounts. I would like to try to find more autobiographies written in different time periods to learn from as well. 

My next three books are already chosen because I am reading them with Chad. We will be reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad to try to help us move in the right direction financially. Then, we will be reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Atomic Habits again. We read these together at the beginning of this year and want to read them together again as the new year is underway.

After these books, the world of possibilities is wide open. I have a big bag of books I have already bought and will most likely choose from there. I'm really itching to read Ruth Bader Ginsburg's biography. It will very likely be that, but there are so many other good ones to choose from, and who knows what Chad will give me for Christmas. All I know is that I am going to continue learning the best way I can with my current budget. Will I go back to school and get another degree someday? I hope so. It's just not in the cards while we are paying all of these medical bills. For now, I am just going to enjoy learning from my books.
