Following her #1 New York Times bestseller and runaway hit I Really Needed This Today, beloved Today show cohost Hoda Kotb returns with an all-new collection of quotes that offer inspiration, wisdom, and hope, 365 days a year.
When I Really Needed This Today was published in late 2019, Hoda Kotb never imagined how deeply her favorite words, stories, and memories would resonate with readers. Fans from all walks of life came to her book, and to Hoda directly, with their own stories and shared the little pieces of inspiration that they carry with them day to day. People across the country connected over Hoda’s words, and the joy of sharing those words with others.
Now, to follow that remarkable experience, Hoda is back-with 365 new quotations, and of course her own personal narratives, to share with her beloved readers. In Untitled, she writes about the people and the moments that have changed her life, discussing everything from motherhood and friendship to her career, loss, and love. And told with the same warmth, humor, and generosity that infused I Really Needed This Today, Untitled promises to be the next great companion book, bringing that little bit of Hoda back into your life.
