Bonnie's Winter Reading List

By: Bonnie Christine

Story Adapted From Pattern Magazine – Volume 3

Pattern Magazine is Bonnie Christine's quarterly print and digital publication for surface pattern designers, artists, and creative entrepreneurs who believe that how you live shapes what you make. This reading list first appeared in Volume 3, Begin Again, the winter 2026 issue.

With the fireplace crackling and an extra pillow tucked behind me, I curl up on our living room couch and turn the page. Will you join me?

Free to Focus by Michael Hyatt

This book has shaped how I approach each day. Michael Hyatt lays the groundwork for proper productivity, planning, time management, and workflow strategies. I used to think productivity just meant simply getting more tasks done, but this book challenged my belief. Productivity is about getting the right things done. By learning how to focus, we can work on the things that truly matter most.

Your Best Year by Lisa Jacobs

I adore this book and have filled its margins with notes, soaking in the strategy these pages offer. Your Best Year is your guide to systems that can turn your ambitious business dreams into reality. Lisa’s expertise in both corporate and entrepreneurial settings has had a profound impact on my own business. If you’re eager to take your business to the next level, add this book to your reading queue.
