6 Books You Absolutely Have To Read Right Now

One of them is even Oprah-approved! - by Tina Burke

6 Books You Absolutely Have To Read Right Now

Between the New Year celebrations, days spent basking in the sunshine by the water, and the endless binge sessions courtesy of Netflix, our reading habits have certainly taken a hit so far in 2018.

To get ourselves (and, maybe you) back on-track we've compiled a list of essential reads in February. With a few essay collections, one book-turned-Oscar-nominee, and a novel touted by the Oprah Book Club, we'd say there's more than enough inspiration for your reading list below.

Feel Free: Essays by Zadie Smith

From the best-selling author of Swing Time and White Teeth comes an insightful collection of essays, exploring everything from racial politics, to social media, to pop-culture, in her signature approachable tone.

2/9/18. What I'll be reading this weekend. . I was sent an advanced reading copy of #FeelFreeEssays by #ZadieSmith from the folks at @PenguinPress almost two months ago, and am finally getting around to starting it. *Hangs head in shame.* I've only read the first of her essays so far about her quest to save her hometown library, and I can already tell I'm going to enjoy this collection of new and previously published essays a lot.👌 . Have you read this collection of essays yet? It was just released on Tuesday. 📚 #penguinpress #nonfiction #feelfree #currentlyreading #amreading #booksandbeans #bookflatlay . #LILFavoriteThings --> #diversereads #DreamBunnyBookishFeb18 --> #blue #bluebooks

Four Respectable Ladies Seeking A Part-Time Husband by Barbara Toner

This hilarious novel shares a unique twist on husband-hunting in 1919. After WWI and the Spanish Flu has wiped out potential husbands, four women in the southern New South Wales town of Prospect devise a plan to "share" a part-time husband between them all. Strange, but perfectly entertaining.

Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders

This #1 New York Times bestseller and winner of the 2017 Man Booker Prize is a moving father and son tale, starring Abraham Lincoln and other historical (and invented) figures. Set over the course of one night in a graveyard, Lincoln's recently-deceased grandson Willie (in 1862) sits in a strange purgatory where ghosts mingle.

Heart Berries by Terese Marie Mailhot 

Mailhot's memoir reflects on her life growing up on a reservation in British Columbia, and the shameful legacy of Canada's marginalisation. The heart-wrenching piece takes readers through the abuse that ran through her house and ultimately led to her mental breakdown.
