Recommendations from your favorite celebrities

Here is a list of book recommendations from some celebrities!Oprah Winfrey described Maya Angelou’s book, “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” as “life-changing,” and says she felt an instant connection with the author and her story. The novel follows a young American woman’s life in the South from childhood to her teenage years, and the struggles she faces—particularly involving racism and self-affirmation. Phoebe Bridgers described “Her Body and Other Parties” by Carmen Maria Machado as one of her favorite books of all time and as “horny, spooky, sad, smart, queer, funny.” It’s a short story collection that cleverly breaks barriers between science fiction, horror, comedy, psychological realism, and fantasy. Phoebe Waller-Bridge loves “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley. The classic gothic novel follows a scientist tormented by his own monstrous creation and examines the consequences brought on by the ruthless pursuit of knowledge.Beyoncé loves to recommend “What Will It Take to Make a Woman President?” by Marianne Schnall to her younger fans. The book consists of interviews and essays by influential women, including Maya Angelou, Melissa Etheridge, and Gloria Steinem, among many others.Olivia Rodrigo recently enjoyed and recommended “Hood Feminism” by Mikki Kendall to her fans on a livestream. Written by a fresh new voice in Black feminism, this book offers a critique of today’s feminist movement and how it has failed many women.type: embedded-entry-inline id: 3BuoWeOm8g0sK0mKRAOd50
