My Bookshelf for 2025
Reading is my daily mental workout. Here’s the list of books I’ve read and reread in 2025 so far.
Reading is both a joy and a vital routine for me.
I love building a system of good routines, but if I had to choose just only one routine, it would be reading.
Each month, I list the books I’ve read to strengthen my reading routines.
