Contrary to popular belief, Millennials read more than older generations do—and more than the last generation did at the same age! An article about the 2014 Pew Research Center report said that "Deeper connections with [books] are also often associated with key life moments such as having a child, seeking a job, being a student, and going through a situation in which research and data can help inform a decision." Soooo...basically all of your 20's! Everything on the internet is interconnected. What better place to have a list of the books you've found on forbes, ESPN, instagram, in a youtube video, amazon etc. that can help you tackle those life event than Book Bunch?
