I love reading and am always recommending books to people. Want to start a conversation with me? Tell me about the book you're reading, or your favorite series. Never ask me what my favorite book is, because I don't know. There's too many to choose from! 

But here's a few of my favorite books that I'd recommend to any Catholic (or non-Catholic!) woman.

Books I've read:

• Go Bravely: Becoming the Woman You were Created to Be by Emily Wilson Hussem
• The Other Side of Beauty: Embracing God's Vision for Love and True Worth by Leah Darrow 
• How to Find Your Soulmate Without Losing Your Soul by Jason and Crystalina Evert
• Loved as I Am: An Invitation to Conversion, Healing, and Freedom Through Jesus by Miriam James Heidland 
• Something Other than God: How I Passionately Sought Happiness and Accidentally Found It by Jennifer Fulwiler
• My Sisters the Saints: A Spiritual Memoir by Colleen Campbell 
• Who Am I to Judge?: Responding to Relativism with Logic and Love by Edward Sri
• The 4 Signs of a Dynamic Catholic: How Engaging 1% of Catholics Could Change the World by Matthew Kelly
• Does God Exist?: A Socratic Dialogue on the Five Ways of Thomas Aquinas by Matt Fradd

Books I've yet to read, but heard from reliable sources, are pretty good:

• Essays on Woman by Edith Stein*
• The Privilege Of Being a Woman by Alice von Hildebrand
• Girl, Arise! A Catholic Feminist's Invitation to Live Boldly, Love Your Faith, and Change the World by Claire Swinarski
