“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.” ― Jorge Luis Borges
Welcome to my digital library!
I’m thrilled you’re here.
As a child my absolutely favourite film was Beauty & The Beast. I used to watch it daily… my mum and brothers can still recite dialogues from the movie from memory (#sorrynotsorry). My biggest dream was to grow up and have a majestic library like the one in the film.
Thus, it’s probably no surprise that growing up, books were my constant companions, advisors, and portals to new worlds.
You will always find a big stack of books in my bedside table… I may be known to read two-three books at the same time (I usually do a novel alongside 1 -2 non-fiction).
Below are some of my favourite books/audiobooks. They have supported me through different experiences and moments of my life - I keep coming back again and again to many of them.
Please choose what resonates and leave the rest, let your intuition draw you to what would be most beneficial to you right now... you can always come back to this list for future inspiration.
PS. If you want some more recommendations, or you want to share a recommendation of your own I’m all ears!
