morgan!! you mentioned about recommending some books to me and i am coming in here to take you up on that offer!!!! pls do send me ur book recs!!

the last genre i tried to go into was more on self-help, biographies type (when breath becomes air is the last book i read i think.... in 2019 LOL) but am lowkey wanting to branch out and explore too!! so any genre will do 🫶🏻 thank u so much 🥺 i wish i had stuff i could recommend to you waaah

oooo if you like biographies/memoirs I really recommend the glass castle by jeannette walls it was one of the first memoirs I ever read when it was given to me when my high school english class did a book exchange!! I also 100% recommend Joan didion's the year of magical thinking. there's also blue nights which is didnt like as much. but if you do like didion I would recommend some of susan sontag and Eve babitz's works!!! which stray more into fiction/essays if you're into that. But if you want to keep it biographical the diaries of anais nin which has multiple parts but imo you don't need to read them in chronological order. I haven't read it myself but I've heard somewhat good things about good kids by patti smith. also I cant talk about memoirs without mentioning in the dream house by carmen maria machado like I LOVE this book. It's one of the best books I've read in a long time it made me cry it made sick it made me laugh. It's SO good and a must read for anyone I think.
