Open to suggestions!

I bought a guided reading journal for more grounded reflection and a way to wind down at night (and a cute incentive to take my time with reading and not feel guilty about it). Surprise, the journal has recommendations in the back! I figured I'd share just in case anyone else was interested/had the same journal and wanted a list on here too!

I thought it would be nice to have all of them in one long list.

books olivia has talked about, posted, or was seen reading!

A German word for a novel following the growth and maturing throughout a feminine artist's whole life, not just a coming of age! Often semi- or fully autobiographical. I discovered this word through a poem by Ocean Vuong and finding the feminization of the word! please feel free to suggest more! and i am use the word feminine here not as a direct antonym to masculinity (boy vs girl), but rather an exploration of stories outside of the cisgender male artists' stories.

With a big scoop of melancholy!

Monthly reads picked by Dua Lipa's Service 95.

A mash-up of two of the most wonderful things in life books and music! 😌 A collection of non-fiction from biographies, genre histories, and social and pop histories. These are going to be unfortunately skewed toward my taste and those artists who I have knowledge of and/or admire. So recommend me artists you know!! (As long as they aren’t “problematic” ie, Michael Jackson, Jerry Lee Lewis, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, etc.)

Every book recommended by members of the band (except for the one that must not be named). Most of these were recommended by Lucy Dacus. If you are sitting on more books which any member of the band recommended, please hit me up and I will update the list!

How many have you read?
