BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS

The following books I’ve either read and loved or they’ve been recommended to me by people I trust and I’ve put them on my reading list. There is no specific order and I’m aiming to keep this list updated, add new reads, and scratch the ones that didn’t meet my expectations. If you have more recommendations, you can send them over at katy@katytrost.com.
