I rediscovered my love of reading last year. Starting with Little Women (for the third time), then quickly diving into the topics that have been on my mind.
I use Amazon’s “wish list” to save books that I want to buy, and then use that as my list and purchase them from my local bookstore (Greenlight 🌹). My top three favorites: She Said, Bad Behavior, and The Body Keeps Score.
- She Said, Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey
- Dear Madam President: An Open Letter to the Women Who Will Run the World, Jennifer Palmieri
- The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Piss You Off, Gloria Steinmen
- Bad Behavior, Mary Gaitskill
- Transit, Rachel Cusk
- Know My Name, Chanel Miller
- The Moment of Lift, Melinda Gates
- The White Book, Han Kang
- Silence: In The Age of Noise, Erling Kagge
- Asymmetry, Lisa Halliday
- The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Mitch Albom
- The Body Keeps Score, Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D.
