A Glimpse Into Mariah Carey's 2020 Reading List

Making just in time for the holiday season, Mariah Carey shared her 2020 reading list, and of course, it includes her memoir.

The holiday season is upon us, and you may be finding yourself with some time to pick up a book. Your spoilt for choice this year around with all the riveting books to choose from.

Amidst a busy year, Mariah Carey still found the time to read a good book. Our favorite festive star has a few ideas on some literature you should get your nose into on her list of must-reads.

The Importance Of Black Literature

In the aftermath of George Floyd's murder, there was a big push for shopping at Black-owned brands and supporting black-owned bookstores. With that came a focus on book s that echoed pro-black and anti-racist sentiments among books written by black authors like How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi, So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo.

But books that center around blackness can also represent nuance as to not just be about discourse. Carey's reading list and memoir are excellent examples that contemporary fiction and memoirs count for critical analysis of culture.

What's On Mariah's Reading List

The other books on her list are include Born a Crime by Trevor Noah, The Prophets by Robert Jones, Jr., Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz, Untamed by Glennon Doyle, Caste by Isabel Wilkerson, Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid, The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett, Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam, and of course, The Meaning of Mariah Carey by the pop queen herself.

As 2020 comes to a close, our favorite Christmas queen shared her reading list of must-read books. She shared a post on socials media with her stack of essential reads on which her memoir was on top.
