Winter Reading List
Here’s your recommended reading list from a bibliophile. Reading is so lovely in the winder as its the perfect excuse to lay in bed longer!
Help Yourself - A Guide to Gut Health for People Who Love Delicious Food by Lindsay Maitland Hunt. I randomly picked up this cookbook at my local library and I love Lindsay’s honesty with her own struggles and all the research she did on gut health. I’ve already tried the pickled shallots and I’m working on several more. You will learn so much reading this book, and maybe change some eating habits.
The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow - Another fun find at the library, although dense this book satisfied my craving for a fantasy filled story. Three sisters with magic in their blood. They rise up with fellow feminists and witches against an old and sexist male witch. I really love how Harrow weaved children’s rhymes as spells and ancient words. It was a long read but such a perfect escapist book.
Badass Habits by Jen Sincero - I loved Sincero’s first book, You Are A Badass and this book takes it to the next level with a 21 day challenge. Jen is so honest and raw about her own struggles, plus she’s funny! I’ve been applying her methods of rewards for good habits but also repeating my mantra daily. This book will inspire you to look at what you do on a daily basis and perhaps make some changes.
How to be An Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi - I am an ally and in being one to BLM (Black Lives Matter), feminism and LGBTQ+ and in being one I also want to educate myself on antiracism. Kendi is very thorough in his research, going back to the first instance of racism. I also appreciate his honesty in his own journey of antiracist work. You’ll not only get a thorough education on our American history but how racism has evolved and how you can be a part of the change to dismantle it.
