Fellow book nerds! Y’all are in for a treat! I have heard Dave Ramsey share this quote from Charlie “Tremendous” Jones a ton.
“You are the same today as you’ll be in five years except for two things: the books you read and the people you meet.”
I really believe this! Reading books has radically changed my life over the last 15 years. You see a ton of book recommendations from me, especially if you follow me on Insty with the #valandwords. 
Today I am sharing my revised list of the top 5 books that have changed my life along with 11 other women I respect so much! Seriously, I am super protective of the number of people I follow on Instagram or podcasts I listen too and these ladies are ones I let in because they are always encouraging me! (I’ve done this feature twice before so go check out some favorite books from 21 of my favorite inspirational women! Volume 1 | Volume 2).
READ SOME AMAZING BOOKS:
I’ve intentionally asked them to only share with me their top five without going into detail because I think we can all get something different out of the books we read. AND this post would have been the length of a book itself. ; ) Check these books out on Amazon (everything is linked up below the graphic!!). If they sound appealing, download the Kindle sample. If you don’t have a Kindle or iPad, get the Kindle app for your phone. Read all the samples that interest you and then pick to read only the books that really resonate with you. Don’t add them all to your list!! Book reading shouldn’t be overwhelming. It should be exciting!! Here’s a post on how I pick books and make sure I’m making the most from them!
GET INSPIRED:
Definitely don’t forget to click the links to these gals! These ladies are not only making things happen, but they are doing so gracefully and generously and I am consistently inspired by the thoughts they share and the products and services they offer.
