These books are non-fiction and cover a random area of expertise:

The Housewives by Brian Moylan
This one was for the Bravo fans, and as a Real Housewives fan, I had so much fun. This reads as documentary style, covering everything from production to cast to money and so much more. I had such a great time watching all of the Real Housewives franchises, and this was a great way to round the experience out. So much tea – I really enjoyed reading this.

Pandora’s Jar & Divine Might by Natalie Haynes
I’ve always loved Greek Mythology, and as a lover of women, these two books were really fascinating to me. Each chapter explored a new woman or group of women in Greek myths, what their story brings, what it means, and how it has been adapted over the years. There are the ones I already knew, like Hera and Medusa and the Muses. But I loved exploring some of the ones I didn’t know enough about, like Jocasta and Phaedra and the Amazons. There was a uniquely funny and feminist take on all the stories, and it read really well. Had so much fun reading these.

Say The Quiet part Out Loud by William Ramsey
I had a lot of fun with this one, as a kid who listened to emo music in the early 2000’s. The book takes us band by band, covering important news in the music world from that time, and discussing the importance of artist like Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Paramore, and so much more. This book was very clearly self-published from some random guy on TikTok, but I found the content interesting none-the-less.

And Don’t F&%k It Up by Maria Elena Fernandez
This was a really fun read, almost entirely from the mouths of the queens of Rupaul’s Drag Race themselves. They go season by season covering the most talked about moments from the first ten years of the show, all the drama, and a lot of background tea. Even as someone who considers themselves a historian of Rupaul’s Drag Race, I still learned more from reading this.

Mercury by Lesley-Ann Jones
As a big fan of Freddie Mercury, it was a great time to dive into all the details and people that he encountered in his life. This is told as a biography, but the author did a great job of capturing quotes from everyone involved. The book read as a wonderful tribute to a music legend who transcended expectations and made history as a one-of-a-kind star.

The Sullivanians by Alexander Stille
This detailed the cult that existed from the late 1950’s to 1990 on the upper side of Manhattan, regarded as the Sullivan Institute. This was a fascinating read about this psychotherapy sex cult that taught that the traditional family was the root of all evil. The cult obviously had a lot of problems, lots of weird practices, and yet was somehow existing among the busy streets of the city. It went on a little long with detail that I didn’t care about, but still very interesting.

Thanks for reading! (Last Updated: June 2026)
