Books We Love from NPR began in 2013, always boasting over 200 books (almost 400 in recent years) featuring genres from memoirs, to cookbooks, to graphic novels, to children’s literature, to nonfiction, to novels. Check out NPR’s website to filter this massive list.

The list is in reverse alphabetical order directly from NPR.

Stories centered around isolation, being stranded, societal collapse, and surviving in the wilderness.

Books recommended by Dakota Johnson each month for her bookclub associated with her production company TeaTime Pictures!

In the bookclub IG channel her and her @teatime.pictures team also shared deep dives into the books and insights about them, often curated by the authors themselves ✨ From October 2026 the bookclub moved to Substack!

The TeaTime Book Club is a monthly curated book club by actress Dakota Johnson.

Books that are set in each of the 50 states.

Title is pretty self-explanatory really! This list contains only the entries in the Fiction category but I might create the other lists too if someone doesn't beat me to it, we'll see what the future holds ~
