nonfiction about crime that is not* murder, rape, or war crimes: financial crime, cons, burglary, heists, fraud, forgery, art crime, trespass, political bribery, espionage, and arson

*NOT a guarantee of NO violence. please research content warnings if you need them.

Emotional devastation, scream in a pillow, throw the book kind of stories! The ones that leave you breathless and crazed for more!

Books with important topics that currently or have affected women. Books that tell stories that need to be heard and ask important questions. Books that can make you feel.

Be inspired to unfold yourself from your comfy nook in bed, open the front door, and breathe in nature that persists in our concrete cities. It’s nice to take a step back and appreciate the environment in our busy lives. Please, bookworms, touch some grass!

Feel good who-dun-its.

Not your average romances! Non-linear timelines. Historical eras and time periods. Separated by time. Too little time. Travel through time. Unique Storytelling and love that tests time itself!

Personal mission to read Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novels.

Checking off Emily Henry books until I read them all, giggle at the banter, and reach peak emotional damage!
