Hi, Everyone! I thought I’d share my summer reading list with you all today. I've had a pretty fast paced summer and I haven't managed my time well enough to knock out all the books I'd like. Here’s a few things I’ve been reading and what’s on my list for the coming months. I would LOVE to hear what you all are reading too.

Reality Is Not What It Seems By Carlo Rovelli
What are time and space made of? Where does matter come from? And what exactly is reality? Scientist Carlo Rovelli has spent his life exploring these questions and pushing the boundaries of what we know. Here he explains how our image of the world has changed throughout centuries. From Aristotle to Albert Einstein, Michael Faraday to the Higgs boson, he takes us on a wondrous journey to show us that beyond our ever-changing idea of reality is a whole new world that has yet to be discovered. - Publisher Summary
I'm excited to begin reading this book.
When Breath Becomes Air, By Paul Kalanithi
When Breath Becomes Air is by far one of my favorite books. It wasn't my first time reading this, but I felt that it was something I needed to re-read this summer. When Breath Becomes Air is a non-fiction autobiographical book written by Paul Kalanithi. A memoir about his life and illness, battling stage IV metastatic lung cancer.
Secret's of Six Figure Women, By Barbara Stanny
In Secrets of Six-Figure Women, Barbara Stanny, journalist, motivational speaker,and financial educator, identifies the seven key strategies of female highearners: A Profit Motive, Audacity, Resilience, Encouragement, Self-Awareness, Non-attachment, and Financial Know-How.
Secret's of Six Figure Women, was one of my first reads. At first I ended up just skimming through and reading a couple different chapters here and there. I've read a few similar books, so it was a bit too repetitive for my liking. However Barbara Stanny gives some great strategies.
Here is a List of Books I plan on reading within the next two months:
The Road to Character, by David Brooks
The Vital Question, by Nick Lane
Everything Happens for a Reason and Other Lies I’ve Loved, by Kate Bowler
Homo Deus, by Yuval Noah Harari
