Welcome to Books & Coffee.
love beauty thrive’s new monthly book feature series.
I’m so glad you could join me here, in the experience of impactful storytelling, growth, and meaningful conversation, one book (and perfect cup of coffee) at a time.
Here’s what I’m reading this month, the fourth selection in our book feature series.
ATOMIC HABITS (2018)
JAMES CLEAR
Get your copy of Atomic Habits.
“Tiny change, remarkable results. No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving – every day. James Clear, one of the world’s leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results. If you’re having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn’t you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don’t want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you’ll get a proven system that can take you to new heights . . . Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits . . .” – www.amazon.com.
BOOK TALK
I can’t wait to read this book. After all the talk and so many copies sold, it’s been on my to-be-read list since it’s release.
I had to see for myself why it was so incredibly, highly recommended (and finally got myself a copy). And what better time to read a life-changing book on habits than the start of a brand new year.
A lover of all nonfiction, this book on self growth and change is the perfect read for me going into 2021. I have a feeling I might need a highlighter and a pen to jot down notes with this one.
I hope you will join me this January in reading love beauty thrive’s fourth monthly book feature, Atomic Habits by James Clear.
ON THE CHARTS
Atomic Habits is a #1 New York Times bestseller (over three million copies sold) and has spent over 100 weeks on Amazon Charts for the top 20 most read and sold nonfiction books. It was an instant worldwide bestseller.

CHILDREN’S BOOKSHELF
I read with my children every night. This month, we are reading The Mysteries of the Universe (2020) by Will Gater, beautifully illustrated by Angela Rizza and Daniel Long (an Amazon Editor’s Pick as best nonfiction for kids).
This gorgeous, hardcover book with golden pages uses photographs, illustrations and stories to bring children on an adventure, journeying from Earth to discover the great mysteries of space (planets, stars, galaxies, celestial objects, and other secrets of the cosmos).

We also continue to read the hardcover, illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2019; fourth book of the series) by J. K. Rowling.
These stunningly beautiful editions of the Harry Potter books have full colour, gorgeous illustrations by award-winning artist Jim Kay (my kids are enthralled by the magical artwork).

As another nonfiction choice, we also continue to read World World II: A Visual Encyclopedia (2015) that we started in November, in honour of Remembrance Day in Canada.
The photographs, illustrations, and facts keep them engaged, learning and respectful, while honouring the sacrifices made by these brave men and women for our freedom.
