“Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism” by Amanda Montell. I love words and am very interested in how people use language for various purposes; plus, the book highlights stories of cult survivors, so it’s intriguing and educational.

“Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good” by adrienne maree brown. I love this book because you can pop in and out of it, read whatever essay or poem resonates with you the most and receive an inspiring, liberating and affirming message within a short read.
