Excited for 2023! This will be my fourth year in a row of setting a plan to read books that will help me grow personally and professionally. I love diving into personal development, business, and startup books, but I also make sure to mix in some novels to keep things interesting. Unlike the past years, I plan to share the books I’ve finished reading each month to keep myself accountable.

Last year, I aimed to read 40 books but with a chaotic and stressful year, I only managed to read 5. Not as good as planned. I also picked a very bad habit last year, where I start few books at the same time and never actual finish any. I have bunch of tabs opened in my mind that I am going to make it a priority to close them this year. In this blog post I will focus first on my list of books from last year that I need to finish, and then I’ll move on to all the exciting books I have planned for this year.
