Book Recommendation List (Based on Your Enneagram Type)

Book Recommendation List by Enneagram Type

Reading is one of my favorite Fall activities, especially if I am cuddled up with a cozy blanket and a cup of tea. I love looking at #bookstack on instagram for book ideas. So, this week, I decided to illustrate some of my recent favorite book choices, based on which ones would match each enneagram type. 

In the caption and my Insta stories, I asked you guys to give me your enneagram type and recent favorite book choices.  You all had soooooo many great responses in the comments and in my stories.  Since there were so many great suggestions, I thought it would be fun to compile them in one place for you.  

These suggestions are based on all of your recommendations. I have not read all of these books, so I can’t personally recommend them.  Some types have a lot more recommendations that others.  That’s only because more of you recommended books for certain types than others did.  I love that so many of you gave your recommendations to share with others!
