My COVID-19 Lockdown Reading List
…and they all laughed and laughed because they knew she had a baby and would probably hardly get through a fraction of a single book, let alone a whole list 😂
Okay, but for real, I do feel like my life is starting to level out in terms of intensity, so making time to read is becoming more of a priority. It’s a hobby that really fills me up and I’ve missed it SO BADLY! I thought I’d share what’s in my Amazon wish list in terms of books in case you also need some inspiration during this lockdown too ☺️
In no particular order, here’s what I can’t wait to crack open:
1. Untamed by Glennon Doyle
2. The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi, Fumitake Koga
3. Stillness Is the Key by Ryan Holiday
4. Wine Folly by Madeline Puckette, Justin Hammack
5. Atomic Habits by James Clear
6. The Body by Bill Bryson
7. Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and A Conspiracy to Protect Predators by Ronan Farrow
8. Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell
Over to you! What’s on your nightstand lately? Have you read anything amazing or have any good recommendations to share?

March 25, 2020 at 12:59 pmLast week I thought I had so much time on my hands, so I requested a book from my local library that has been on my “To Read” list. Not That Kind of Girl by Lena Dunham
It’s still closed because this week I have been busy Zooming and filming all my classes for this week and next. Fingers crossed you get to your books!

March 26, 2020 at 7:51 amFirst question that I must ask : how are you gonna read that many books with a baby ? 😂 I have a 14 months old one and It takes me 1 to 2 weeks to read a book !!
Thank you for your inspiring list. I’m also listening to the Body on Audible and I’m reading at the moment Welcoming the unwelcome by Pema Chodron.
A great book to add is A life worth breathing by Max Strom. I loved it !

March 29, 2020 at 5:18 amGreat list! I’ve been considering reading ‘Stillness is the key’ – let me know how you like it.
I’ve read Atomic Habits, it’s a great book! I’ve recently read Rising Strong and Red, White, and Royal Blue which are both such good books too.
Enjoy your reading if you get the time for it 😉

March 30, 2020 at 1:20 pmI’m rereading “Gmorning, Gnight!: Little Pep Talks for Me & You” by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jonny Sun because that’s the kind of thing I need in my life right now!

March 31, 2020 at 6:13 pmI just read Iris Arpel’s book. She’s such an iconoclast and an inspiration. Her book is beautiful to behold!
I’ve been taking this time to go through books about fellow weirdos. It’s great to know there are other people out there like me and to see them do their thing.

April 16, 2020 at 8:49 amHi guys I started yoga recently,
and since I started it has changed my life.
When I meditate I love listening the sound of nature,
and lately I listen to the sound of the rain
I think it’s very relaxing,
that’s why I found a new video on youtube that I think can be useful to many people.
I leave you the link https://youtu.be/34QRf-FZM1c

September 13, 2020 at 9:21 pmThis is a great list. I just finished reading “The courage to be disliked”. I wish to get more options from your site. I think COVID is the great time to improve our physical as well as mental health and yoga + books are a great combination.

July 27, 2022 at 10:57 amOne of the most useful and demanded things is crypto payment processor https://coinspaid.com/ as for me it is worth to use it in more places because it opens real opportunities for business and for clients because there is a possibility to make cryptopayments.
