Books I've loved, books I want, and everything that makes reading better. Curated for the reader who takes their shelf seriously.
A concierge who hides her intellectual life. A girl who sees through everything. Philosophy, aesthetics, and the quiet power of being more than you appear.
The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery
Sharp, funny, and bracingly honest about femininity, culture, and ambition. Conversational but never shallow. You'll highlight half of it.
How to Be a Woman by Caitlin Moran – review | Books
Controversial, cold, and oddly beautiful. A woman opts out of everything. It reads like wearing an impeccable outfit to do absolutely nothing, intentionally.
My Year of Rest and Relaxation by Ottessa Moshfegh
Quietly observed, intellectually alive, emotionally precise. You'll read the same paragraph twice on purpose.
Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney
Timeless, not because it's trendy to say so, but because Esther Greenwood is still walking around in all of us. The original slightly, overdressed overthinker.
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
About womanhood, identity, and chosen family, written with more intelligence and wit than most books dare. Challenges everything gently.
Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters
Art, ambition, women across time. Beautiful prose, layered story. The kind of book you carry around visibly.
