Super Amazing Crowd-Sourced Book List for Making Your Year the Best Year Ever (2023-2024)*

*This is the link to my Amazon storefront. If you purchase a book there, I might earn a commission, but it won’t cost you anything extra.

Now that you have the list - let's talk about how to get them into your hands (if you're not an Amazon shopper).

  • It's probably been a while for most of us, but you could go look for books at your local library.

  • If the idea of going outside just doesn't do it for you, Libby and Hoopla are two ways to borrow e-books or audiobooks from your local library from the comfort of your couch.

If you're not familiar with them, learn how to use them here:

  • There's always Audible for audiobooks (also from Amazon). You can even gift an Audible account to the reader in your life.


  • If you like the feeling of walking into a bookstore and browsing for what catches your eye, check out this list of ​Black-owned bookstores​ to support. This list is from 2020, so please confirm that the store is still in business before you cross town to find it 😉.

  • And of course, there is an ​online option​ if you want to shop independently-owned bookstores from bed. I really like this option, because if you choose your bookstore at the top, you can decide which independently-owned bookstore gets the profit from your purchase. And if you can't choose, all those stores share the profits.

  • If you joined us at ExodUS Summit, you may have already heard that some members of our Facebook group created Book Clubs. To find them, search for “Book Club” in the group.

If you’re not a member of the ExodUS Summit Facebook group, I found something just for you. Did you know Amazon has book clubs? I sure didn’t. Look for one that interests you here: Amazon Book Clubs

If you are easing your way into e-books, check out these e-readers here. The Kindle Paperwhite is my favorite because it doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles so I can’t get distracted.

 

I hope this list and resources brings you something to smile about today!
