My top ten fiction books of 2023β¦ so far π
Hey Reader
What a cold week it has been in South Africa π₯Ά Even our mountaintops had snow on them. So before you ask, how cold is cold, it snowed!
My neighbors even took their kids on a road trip to one of the highest peaks so that they could experience snow! I also believe that they used their kids as an excuse as they had way too much fun themselves building those snowmen βοΈ
So funny that I wrote about exactly that in my last mail, about (re)connecting to FUN! It was meant to be π
Colder temperatures equals a colder swimming pool, the water temperature dropped from 16C to 12C in just 3 days. This means that I had to step out of that comfort zone (or better, out of my warm towel poncho), every single morning!
In case you got no idea what I am talking about, every day I get into the water for a morning cold water swim ππ»ββοΈ It usually is not a big thing but now I have to give myself a pep talk to get it done.
Why do I do these crazy things? First of all, it has got a couple of health benefits. We also got a beautiful pool and view and it would be a waste to only use it in summer. But most of all, it is a mindset thing. If I can do this, then I can tackle anything that comes my way. Ok probably not everything but there is just something about that feeling of accomplishment and pride. That YES feeling πͺπΌ I do hope that it gets warmer soon as I'll probably turn into a polar bear otherwise π»ββοΈ
Something I don't need to push myself for is reading!
I love to read, and I can easily get lost in the pages of a good book. I love to be swept away to different worlds, to be zapped into the past, and to embark on adventures with the leading characters.
I find myself often up late at night in order to find out what is going to happen next⦠detrimental to my sleep but oh so good for my soul!
As I am always searching the internet for some "bookspiration", and I am always grateful people share that. I thought to myself why don't I share my top 10 fiction books of 2023... so far? And that's what I did π
So whether you are leaving on your summer holiday or you are in need of a good read to keep you warm next to the fireplace? I am sure you'll find something inspiring on my list π
Full disclosure, summarizing books doesnβt lie in my zone of genius, reading does, so I am grateful that I can refer to the book summaries I have found on Goodreads. Each and every book that made it to my top 10 has left a mark, either on my sleep or my soul, or both. I loved reading them either way.
To complement this list, Iβll also be sharing my top 10 personal development books of 2023 in a separate blog post. These non-fiction works have played a pivotal role in igniting the flame of self-discovery. Together, these two lists provide a holistic snapshot of my reading journey in 2023, SO FAR.
Depending on where you are reading this mail, stay warm π₯ or keep it cool πΉ. Just make sure you have a good book close by π
Sending you lots of love from South Africa

View in browser I have something to confess Reader. In the past, I might have created something (or a couple of things π¬) to throw away then all the hard work I had put into it. Because I didn't get the results I had envisioned π«£ And I know I'm not alone! Running a business can be an exhilarating journey, filled with the excitement of launching new products or services.

View in browser Hi Reader I just got back from an amazing morning in the new photo studio of a dear friend and amazing photographer. It was all fun and laughter π I can't wait to see how the pictures turned out but there is No doubt they are going to be nothing but good! When I think back on our first photoshoot so many years ago, we both have grown so much. That first shoot was filled with nothing but nervousness from both sides.
