30 for 30 Goal #14: Read 12 new books (non-disseration/mommy related)
On my 30th birthday, I posted a list of 30 goals I wanted to complete before I turned 31. One of the goals on the list was to read 12 new books that are non-dissertation or mommy related by my birthday. Before having Sesame, I had a lot more time to read for pleasure and I like to read books/series that people don’t typically expect from an academic. Well now that I’m a mom and working on my dissertation I haven’t had a lot of time to read for pleasure. I decided to come up with a reading list of sorts. I only have to read 12 of these to meet my goal, but I thought it would be nice to have some variety. Oh and yes there are some mommy related ones on this list… I know I know lol…
