Most of my picks are in the nonfiction genre, but I did try to branch out a little to other options.
I am including the topics these books discuss so that my readers will know in advance if a particular title is or isn’t something that piques their interest.
1. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (Maya Angelou’s Autobiography, #1) by Maya Angelou
Topics discussed: Childhood sexual abuse, kinship care, separation from parents, racism, and trauma.
2. Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Pérez
Topics discussed: Sexism and misogyny.
3. 50 Ways to Soothe Yourself Without Food by Susan Albers
Topics discussed: Emotional eating, binge eating disorders, and mental health.
4. CBT for Social Anxiety: Simple Skills for Overcoming Fear and Enjoying People by Stefan G. Hofmann, Robert L. Leahy

5. Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

I think most of these will be added to my TBR. Thanks for sharing these, Lydia!
You’re welcome. Happy reading!

I hope you like that one.
