We’ve partnered with APlus to put together our #FeelGoodReads for Thanksgiving. Here are the four amazing books we’re super thankful this holiday!
Becoming by Michelle Obama
The former first lady elates, moves, teaches and inspires us in this incredible memoir. Becoming explores her roots, her time in the White House, her role as a public figure, and as a mother. We’re thankful for her grace and intelligence, and we’re thankful to her for sharing it all with us!

An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green
Brother of YA sensation John Green had big shoes to fill when publishing his debut novel, but fill them he did! This extraordinary tale follows protagonist April May as she becomes an overnight sensation, and explores the perils and pitfalls of social media. We’re thankful that Hank pulled through with another fantastic offering from the brothers Green, and for a thought-provoking look at the effects of social media!

The Friend by Sigrid Nunez
Nunez has just won the much-coveted National Book Award for this heartfelt tale of a woman who loses her best friend, and devotes herself to caring for the friends dog as a sort of catharsis.
It definitely makes us thankful for our friends and loved ones, and, of course, for dogs.
Well Read Black Girl: Finding Our Stories, Discovering Ourselves edited by Glory Edim
This amazing anthology, edited by Glory Edim, brings together black, female voices discussing the importance of recognizing oneself in literature.
Featuring authors such as Jacqueline Woodson, Tayari Jones, Jesmyn Ward and Gabourey Sidibe, this anthology makes us hugely thankful for these women raising their voices and paving the way for female writers of color.
