Harry Potter ruined me — in the best possible way. After that level of magic, most fiction never stood a chance… so I became a non-fiction girlie. At this point, I’m not sure if I read non-fiction or collect it, but either way: books are both my hobby and my addiction. This list is a curated mix of the titles that have expanded my thinking, challenged my assumptions, and reshaped how I see myself and the world. These aren’t just “interesting reads” — they’re the books that leave a mark, shift something inside you, and linger long after you’ve closed them. If you love ideas, insight, depth, or simply the feeling of being changed by a book — you’ll feel right at home here.
