One of the changes I’m most excited about this year is that I’ve fallen back in love with reading fiction. Below are some of the best fiction books on my bookshelf that I highly recommend!
If you’ve followed me for a long time, you might remember that I used to read fiction regularly. Getting lost in a good story was one of my favorite ways to unwind and recharge. But somewhere along the way, that habit slowly disappeared.
Looking back, I think part of it was the grief we experienced after saying goodbye to C, whom we fostered for 8½ months after bringing him home from the NICU in 2020. Then life became very full with fostering and adopting David, getting pregnant with Micah, and navigating all the beautiful and demanding responsibilities that came with those seasons.
At the same time, I gradually replaced reading with other habits—especially scrolling on my phone at night and keeping up with politics. (Many of you know I’m a bit of a political junkie, even though I rarely talk about politics publicly!)
