Handing someone a book is a love language
Best book everrr!!! Part recipe book, part novel, part the hottest, most-heart-aching romance you'll ever read (and the stars go out), part psychological novel to understand ourselves connected to those who love us most with a love that can't be show...
Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel, Paperback
Only the most gorgeous jewel of a novel you’ll ever read. A heart-breaking novel about the division of caste system in India, forbidden love, and generations of abuse amongst the jeweled lilies. When I think of beautiful writing, I turn to Arundhati ...
The God of Small Things: A Novel
Passion, lesbianism, chicken, VENICE, Napoleon, and one of the oddest poetic jewel drips of a novel you'll read.
The Passion
This is one of those: start to think of myself as amazing and an artist books. Better than The Artists Way or whatever that weird book is. Anais Nin was a writer in the French circles and emerging art forms of the 20th century dealing with her childh...
The Diary of Anais Nin, Vol. 1: 1931-1934

Be serious? Your silliness is more interesting.
Fairyopolis: A Flower Fairies Journal
Barbie Fairytopia: Mermaidia
Dragonology: The Complete Book of Dragons
Wizardology: The Book of Merlin Secrets
If this isn't the most fun strawberry fantasy of girls kicking butt around the world!! Yeah, I feel a little weird reading manga with the p undertones, but sometimes you just want to feel adorable and see women running the world in pretty clothes.
Mew Mew to the Rescue (Tokyo Mew-Mew, Vol.1)
The trilogy is incredible. Crazy butts from Uranus? I think this is formational to who I am as a person, being irreverent and generally having a laugh. Cue the butt jokes.
The Day My Butt Went Psycho
Skip Black Swan- read this!
Princess Tu Tu Volume 1
On how American women and child-rearing are focused on women being selfless compared to he French decadence and self-focus which creates better children and happier mothers. Love as a model for our society. Also good for being a teacher.
Bringing Up Bébé: American Mom on French Parenting
This manga was formational for me growing up because of how heart-breakingly beautiful the artwork. Also has some interesting ideas on the idea of being heretic with science. Yeah, I feel a little weird reading manga with the p undertones, but this o...
Good Witch of the West, Volume 1
Understand the World & MONEYY ✨🌎
A woman's weapon of war. You can find some of these free online as a PDF!
Want to understand our current financial situation, especially if you're from the U.S.? Highly recommend this book by top Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff to understand major global currencies histories over the last decade related to the U.S. dollar... His chapters on cryptocurrency were a skip for me, but the others were useful overviews of major countries tied to the dollar.

Our Dollar, Your Problem: Insider's View of Global Finance
This is staple reads in economics/finances. I haven't made all the way through! But if you're interested in more in depth economic understanding than TikTok talking points (Marx = great), and instead want to understand things in context, this is good...
Capital in the Twenty First Century
A great book about the history of capitalism's formation & its effect on women and the body. This is useful to understand our current world. Also, a brutal history of capitalism's formation effect on women which was really helpful for me to under...
Silvia Federici Caliban and the Witch /anglais
You can almost hear this little man's brain turn. Honestly, I'm a fan just to feel dramatic and to see modern warfare.
The Prince (Reader's Library Classics)
Dao De Jing! Read as a foundation for entering the world of Eastern philosophy and as a way to move through things you can't change (a woman can change anything but sometimes you need time).
The Dao De Jing: Laozi's Book of Life
I feel like this is a great philosophy book for life though your application may vary. Better than most trauma healing. Can you attack your enemies? Let's find out.
The Art Of War
How is everything in the world, from medicine to phones, designed for men?
Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World for Men
Comfort/Healing Reads
If you buy this book, you have to buy this version with this cover. No other will suffice. Sweet way to snuggle with your inner child and tell her everything will be magical. Truly one of the most magical and charming books with real struggle, pain, ...
A Little Princess Publisher: HarperCollins
An icon. Best read with a tray of chocolates.
Confessions of a Shopaholic (Shopaholic, No 1)
Everyone HATED this book when it came out, But honestly, you haven't worked through your trauma until you read and cry at Rupi Kaur's poems and what it means to be a woman, beautiful, sexual, and daughter. How deeply these rose thorns dig.
