Sometimes we need something familiar to get us out of a slump, reading or just life in general. There's something so cozy & comforting about rereading a beloved title.

Some of these I actually prefer on audiobook and I'll try to list here: The Shining Illuminae Files Sabriel (Tim Curry edition)

Recommendations from one homeschool survivor to another. These are books (and additional resources, in the comments) that have helped me begin to fill in some gaping holes in my education.

poet, playwright, & artist.

Comment as to what should I add to this list!

Pair with "Level 4 – The Modern World" book.

(I was unable to successfully add "Hidden Figures: Young Readers Edition" by Margot Lee Shetterly and "Build This Book: A Book and Maker Space All in One" by David Eckold.)

Why is it considered "personal/professional development" when men read these, but "self help" if a woman is reading it?

Actualized, confident, and educated women are less controllable, so they shame us for seeking to better ourselves in an attempt to discourage our growth and strength. I say screw that. Glow up, queen. Become ungovernable.

Personal and professional development books (including personal finance) by women authors. Suggestions welcome.

Books with cats on the cover.
