MY 2020 & 2021 BOOK LISTS
As an middle schooler who was forced to read 1.5 hours a day in the summer, I began to detest and resent reading. That being said, I love personal development and a good novel that can sweep you away.
The past few years I’ve made it a goal to read 2 books a month. My favorite book of 2019 was probably You Are The Girl For The Job by Jess Connolly.
Here is a recap of my favorites from 2020:
One of my goals for 2021 is to ensure that every 1 in 5 books I read is fiction (that’s a C.S. Lewis quote). I also want to give myself permission to put the book down if I hate it. I always feel like I HAVE to finish the whole thing. And it has been TORTURE in the past.

Hey, I'm Bekah! Web designer, Squarespace Circle Gold Partner, marathon runner, and mama of two. I built Rebekah Read Creative in 2018 after leaving corporate America, and I've spent the years since helping purpose-driven entrepreneurs stop cringing at their websites and start getting found on Google.
I'm the kind of person who overshares, processes out loud, and goes all in on whatever has my heart, whether that's running a 50k or building someone's website in a single day. Quality coffee and real conversations are basically my love language.
If you're here, you're probably tired of the Instagram hustle and ready for a website that actually works for you. You're in the right place.
