So I really love messing around on Amazon when i'm supposed to be doing something else. I love it so freaking much. My momma has Amazon Prime and i'm hooked up to the account #bless, so I buy a whole lot of stuff that I really don't need. However, my Amazon wish list has 52 books on it, and I will probably only buy/read about 10 of those. oh well. Here are the top 5 books on my amazon wish list.
1. You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life
Based on the comments, this book seems like the best way to just get your shit together. Scared about starting a new career? Read this book. Doubting your abilities? Read this book. Need to read a book? Read this book. I picked this book for my top 5 because I'm about to enter my senior year of college and i'm terrified. I have no plan, no idea for jobs, and am pretty sure that i'm not good at anything. Apparently this book will solve all my problems for me and i'm down for that.
2. The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness
I'm a very political person (which I probably won't bring to this blog don't worry), so when this book came out I was very interested. This book, which focuses on race and "colorblindness" in America today. No matter your political views, this is supposed to be an amazing and enlightening read.
3. JonBenet: Inside the Ramsey Murder Investigation
I'M OBSESSED WITH THIS CASE. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO HER. Okay seriously though, I used to be a criminal justice major and got to read a lot of interesting crime books, but never about this case. I've watched all the documentaries that have been made, but I still have so many freaking questions. I have my own theories of course, but I feel like there is so much information missing.
4. Girl Code: Unlocking the Secrets to Success, Sanity, and Happiness for the Female Entrepreneur
I love strong women, and I love tips on how to become one. This book is about confidence and learning the power of connecting. It isn't really about business, but you could definitely apply this book to your business. I have a lot of ideas about my future, and I think that this book might help me get there.
5. Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things
As a person who battles her own mental illness, I love reading about other women who do the same. his is a book about embracing everything that makes us who we are - the beautiful and the flawed - and then using it to find joy in fantastic and outrageous ways. Who wouldn't want to read about that.
