Love this list of favorite books for working moms. It includes the best advice to help you live your life and balance work with family better.

I don’t read as much as I would like to, so when I choose a book, it’s for a very specific reason. Over the last year or so, I have received these books and liked them so much, they have a permanent spot on my bookshelf.

Besides reading the Bible, I love to find practical books that help me on the working mom journey or ones that encourage me as a wife, mom, or entrepreneur.
