Whatever your experiences have been during this quarantine, we can all agree that we’ve all rediscovered reading as a nourishing way to spend time.  In our Who’s That Gal interview series, we always check in with our inspiring womxn interviewees to see what they’re reading.  It’s a great way to get new recommendations, learn, and see what makes people tick.

We’ve interviewed some amazing founders, business owners and side-hustlers who love to read over the years and have created a round-up of all the book recs from our Who’s That Gal series.  There’s a ton of wisdom in this list, so pick a pearl to match your mood and get reading!  You can also support your community by buying your new treasure from one of these bookstores.
