26 Books For Us to Read in 2015

If you have followed me for any length of time, then you know that writing and reading are my two stationary hobbies that I enjoy doing a lot. I told you in one of my blog posts that I was going to do a lot fewer book reviews for authors and publishing companies this year. These 26 books is a roundup of books that I actually want to make time to read this year provided I can get my hands on it. I read a broad range of books! I can average 1-2 books read in a week depending on how much they capture my attention. I hope that you’ll find a book that will interest you in this roundup. Maybe we can discuss these books in more detail together.

Special Note: If you click on the name of the book I have included my affiliate link for all of these books, so if you do decide to purchase these books I do earn a small commission. I do feel that all of these books are worth reading.

Grow and Change Your Life Books

•  Balanced Finding Center as a Work at Home Mom – Right now I’m a work-at-home mom. Even if I do land my job, I will still benefit from reading this book. I’ll still be juggling it all as I know many of you are too.
•  365 Blog Ideas for Lifestyle Blogger Who Has Nothing to Write About – I personally usually have something to write about all the time. I have a long list of blog topic ideas to choose from when I am unsure what I want to write. However, I also LOVE to get more ideas because you never know what kind of mood you’re going to be in when it comes time to write.
•  Advertising Headlines That Make You Rich: Create Winning Ads, Web Pages, Sales Letters & More– This book came recommended with high intensity in one of the 8 podcasts to grow my blogging career that I listened to. The guy who mentioned it sold me on the idea of getting this book. It does have a beautiful price tag to it for the hardcover (which is what I would want for this type of book.) It does not have very many reviews. I held off of buying it. I am hoping to get my local library to order it for me. Maybe I’ll have some luck with that one. To their credit, they have managed to get every book I requested of them. When I first started blogging, I got two big bags full of blogging and marketing books from them.
