Dua Lipa’s book clip picks

I'm a huge fan of Maisie's music and her newest album Florescence has been playing nonstop since it came out. She's a passionate reader, so over the years many books recommendations have accumulated and I thought it would be cute to make a list out of them. Info taken from her Goodreads and Instagram accounts, newsletter, podcast, and various interviews she did. I will update this list as new recs come up, but if I miss something feel free to suggest it in the comments.

Trying to support indie publishers and read more diverse fiction! I’m starting with the Booker Prize and hopefully adding more when I can. Add your recs in the comments!

Books perfect for curling up on the couch while leaves fall down like rain.

MUNA wrote the song it gets so hot. And these are books that feel like that song. Literally and metaphorically.

The sun or summer or heatwave is a character or an oppressive force. Or the city of LA is a character or an oppressive force or a key setting. Or a combo of both. Or it’s a book MUNA have recommended. Or it’s just a bit steamy 🥵

Books that explore some interesting “what if”questions

Horror books that either primarily or exclusively take place in Mississippi. Tried to stick to horror and not venture out into thriller territory!

August 2026 Reader’s choice of the best 100 thrillers All I gotta say is the definitely didn’t ask me. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Based on Nicholas Gaskill’s article of the same name, these books analyse the liberal response to Trump’s rise, through ontological alarm concerning the “post-truth” age and the fragility of autofiction.
