Prior to this year, my daily reading habits consisted of Instagram captions, Facebook statuses, Buzzfeed articles of cute puppies, and recipes of foods I never got around to cooking. One of my new years resolutions was to read more books. Thus, I have been reading during my commute to work lately and have been able to find so much comfort in it. I mostly read novels, self-help books and memoirs. Below are a few of my favorite books and would appreciate your recommendations on books to read in the coming months.

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
Outliers: The Story of Success by Malcolm Gladwell
Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
