tyra ♡ (tyra_reads) | 31 comments currently reading The Book of Cold Cases after letting my library hold for it pass by a million times. idk why it took me so long to start this one but i'm enjoying it so far. just feels like i'm behind the times because i think there was a point where everyone was reading this one and i just refused to get on board the trend train for some reason at that time lol

How to Change: The Science of Getting from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be by Katy Milkman

This isn't just a self-help book but one that included studies on behavioral science.
