Confession: I love collecting books more than finishing them.
I’ve only fully read a few, some I’m halfway through, and others are still on my wishlist.
This post is my ongoing book list — a mix of favorites, current reads, and books I plan to buy.
I’ll keep updating it as I continue my reading journey.
Types of Books I Enjoy
Mainly, I’m into Motivation, Romance, and Self-Help.
That’s my taste — and here are some books that match it:
My Book List
| Book | Author | Category |
|---|---|---|
| The Fault in Our Stars | John Green | Romance |
| The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck | Mark Manson | Self-Help |
| Everything Is F*cked | Mark Manson | Motivation |
| Building a Second Brain | Tiago Forte | Productivity |
| Build, Don’t Talk | Raj Shamani | Self-Help |
| Five Feet Apart | Rachael Lippincott | Romance |
📌 This list will grow as I read more books and discover new ones worth adding.
Stay tuned — future McBoss might have a way longer list 😉
I like to read Motivation and Self-Help books more, thank anything
You see, that I have some issues in my life. I always kind an unmotivated and I do feel like I need some help from someone and at the same time I don't like to ask for help. I always keep my stuff with me. Furthermore, I don't like to talk about my stuff, my life, what I am dealing with currently, how much fcked I am, etc. So it was like basically I am unmotivated. Because I was unmotivated, my productivity is in a range of a risk. Like I have my school stuff, my daily life stuff, etc. And I am not achieving them. My mind always reminds me do it soon as I can. But I can't, I don't have this energy in my body, in my mind. And in the same time I think I kind an act like a super sigma boy in my social life, in school, social media(mostly in discord), etc. In these days my laptop screen time is skyrocketing, Netflix, YouTube, Discord, etc. This does not mean I was just watching online content, most of my activities are based on Vibe Coding... I like Vibe Coding 🥲. So I looked for a hobby, a New Hobby. First I start to watch some movies (Yes Watching Content I Know!). And I downloaded a movie named "The Fault In Our Stars". And this is the start of my book reading journey!
The Movie made me read my first Book
The Fault In Our Stars. The Fault In Our Stars was the movie that made me start reading for the first time.
It happened like this: one day I was watching some Instagram Reels and saw a really sad clip from a movie. The reel was from this movie — Hazel Grace attending Gus's funeral and giving a speech. It wasn’t Gus’s real funeral. Gus had just invited Hazel Grace to join his pre-funeral. I think Gus knew that he was going to die that day or the next. This “funeral” happened in the church, and Isaac was there too.
The reel came from that scene. Hazel gave a small speech, and it was heartbreaking. Because you see, all three of them (Hazel, Gus, and Isaac) had cancer, and they knew their lifespans were shorter than those of healthy people.
I don’t know why, but it hit me so hard that I wanted to buy the book and read it after watching the movie. Maybe it’s because my mother died of cancer when I was 14.
So yeah, I’m not going to spoil too much here. You can watch the movie or read the book yourself. It’s a great story 💔.
So in the end, the reason I started to like reading books might just be that Instagram reel, lol.
The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A Fck
The Subtle Are Of Not Giving A Fck: There isn't much of a story about this. So I'm a member of a discord server called The Bookerfly Club and in a one random day I was just looking around in the #currently-reading channel and I just saw someone had posted a picture of this book and ASAP I searched it on YouTube, in Google and I thought this is the self-help book that I was looking for, and I just brought it. And now I am currently reading it.
That’s it for now… I’ll update this blog post in the future with more thoughts about reading and updates on my reading hobby.
I’d also love to hear your thoughts on my blog post. Do you have any book recommendations for me?
