Z’s #30Before30 Reading List
Last year around my birthday, I started my #30Before30 list and one of the items on the list was to read 300 books. Since starting the list, I quickly realized reading 300 books was more aspirational than possible since I would have to read each book in 3 days or less. Internally the number is now closer to 100 but reading more than that would be awesome.
I know that people are always looking for book suggestions (people definitely includes myself) and book discussions are fun, so I decided to compile all of the books I have read into one place rather than solely posting them on my Instagram stories. This is all of the books I have completed so far. I have started way more but either I wasn’t interested or the subject matter has been too heavy to read through quickly. I’ll be updating the list as I finish more books. If you have suggestions for me or want to know more about what I have read, please feel free to comment below or hit me up on Instagram or Twitter.
