12 Inspirational Books to Add to Your 2023 Reading List for a Happy New Year
Whether you’re looking to gain valuable knowledge, improve your overall health, or simplify your life, here are 12 inspirational books to add to your 2023 reading list to help you have a year filled with joy.
I’m sure you’re familiar with the phrase “New Year, New Me.” With the New Year, always comes an intense need to make life changes whether that’s to lose weight, pick up a new hobby, or crush financial goals. But, that’s what I love most about the New Year. It’s a new opportunity to start fresh regardless of any obstacles you may have faced in the previous year or two.
What’s on my 2023 reading list?
One of my personal goals for 2023 is to read at least one book a month. I’ve always enjoyed reading, but since becoming a mom, it’s taken sort of a backseat. But, I’d love to spend less time browsing social media before bed and more time reading to help me dive deeper into my walk with God, simplify my life, and rejuvenate my soul.
I love non-fiction books. Don’t get mean wrong. I’ve enjoyed a good John Green novel in the past and I definitely cannot forget the chokehold that the Twilight series had me in. But as I’ve gotten older, I realized that I mostly enjoy inspirational books based on real life. A few of the titles I’ve included below, I started last year but never finished. I’m also re-reading a few to help me get back on track in some areas.
Note: Don’t feel pressured to run out and buy all these books today or ever. Check your local library first to see if any of these titles are available. You can also listen to them for free through your local library via Hoopla if audiobooks are more your thing.
