Since 2010, Hoda has published seven books in total with four of them landing on The New York Times best seller list.

Hoda’s latest read features 365 inspiring quotes and uplifting reflections for every day of the year. It also includes personal stories about people who’ve made a meaningful impact in Hoda's life.
