Kimberly Wyatt Instagram – ✨ My First Ever New Year’s Resolution… and I actually stuck to it! ✨
Last year, a friend inspired me with their goal of reading three books a month. I thought it sounded a bit much—smug 😂 even—but it sparked something in me. I decided to set my own resolution: one book a month.
To my complete surprise, not only did I stick to it, but I smashed it, averaging two books a month and discovering a love for reading I never expected. Between school runs, house chores, running my dance academy, DJ’ing, and everything else life throws at me, carving out time for me felt impossible. But reading gave me that little escape—an hour or so a day just for myself.
Here are some of my favorite reads from the year if you’re looking for inspiration:
📚 Joseph Knox – True Crime Story
A gripping, real-time narrative that kept me hooked.
📚 Freida McFadden – The Housemaid Series
My author of the year! Unputdownable and addictive.
📚 Lisa Jewell – The Family Upstairs and The Family Remains
Masterful characters and twists that kept me guessing.
📚 Malcolm Gladwell – Talking to Strangers
Thought-provoking and perspective-shifting—classic Gladwell.
📚 Jaqueline Harpman – I Who Have Never Known Men
Imaginative and haunting. A truly unique journey.
📚 Sam Beyer – Come Join Our Disease
Raw, challenging, and unforgettable—a book that lingers.
To all my fellow book lovers: if you’ve got page-turners that kept you hooked this year, please share your recommendations! I’m already building my 2025 reading list, and I can’t wait to see where it takes me.
Here’s to little resolutions turning into big joys! ❤️
