• Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Perez: This is a powerful exploration of how gender bias is baked into data and decision‑making in everything from medicine to urban planning. You’ll likely see many everyday systems differently after reading.

• The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab: A more speculative, fantasy‑tinged novel, but deeply human. Themes of identity, memory, being remembered (or forgotten), and making one’s mark in the world, even when things feel like they might slip away.

• Momtok is the Apotheosis of the 21st Century Woman by Sophie Gilbert:  Explores how modern social media trends (MomTok, domestic aesthetics, visibility politics) intersect with feminism, beauty standards, and the way women’s roles are portrayed, in many ways reconstructed, in online culture. It asks: what is real, what is performance, and how do these trends affect identity and societal expectations?

• Is it Time to Retire the Braided Essay? By Jasmine Vojdani: A meta‑essay about form, exploring how essay styles evolve—and how they reflect shifts in how we think, feel, and communicate in our moment.

• A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna: This is a warm, enchanting read. Cozycore at its finest. It doesn’t reinvent fantasy, but it touches many of the things that feel especially meaningful: belonging, reclaiming what was lost, small magics, and connection. It won’t be everyone’s perfect brew, but for those in search of cozy, healing fantasy, it delivers beautifully.
