With so many of us trying to cut down our screen time, good ol’ books are back in fashion. Here are our must-reads this month.

1. YOUR OWN KIND OF GIRL – A MEMOIR
By Clare Bowditch
This is the story Clare promised herself, aged 21, that she would one day be brave enough to write. Brutal at times but funny AF, it will change your life for the better. It’s about the stories we tell ourselves as women: that ‘real life’ only begins when we are thin or beautiful, and that good things only happen to other people. And it’s about what happens when we believe such stories. Honest and raw, you won’t be able to put this holiday read down. allenandunwin.com
2. YOUR 40 DAY TRANSFORMATION
By Janella Purcell
Janella Purcell is one of Australia’s leading authorities on natural health, and has created this comprehensive guide, perfectly timed for the new decade. With a ‘reset program’ that includes recipes, planners and strategies, you’ll be starting 2020 feeling like your best self.
3. THE SEVEN NECESSARY SINS FOR WOMEN
By Mona Eltahawy
Feminist Mona Eltahawy advocates an out-loud approach to harnessing our female power through the ‘seven necessary sins’ that we are not supposed to commit: to be angry, ambitious, profane, violent, attention-seeking, lustful, and powerful. SLAY.
4. THE MONTESSORI TODDLER
By Simone Davies
Want to raise a curious human bean and retain your sanity at the same time? Oh, and how about becoming a more mindful less-shouty parent? Yah! Dive in to these pages and you’ll discover how to set your home up to get rid of chaos and tame your mad little two-year-old. Result.
5. THE SUN AND HER FLOWERS
By Rupi Kaur
We love Rupi Kaur. The bestselling author of Milk and Honey, Rupi never fails to make us feel, and here her second collection of poetry is no different. The Sun and Her Flowers is a journey of wilting, falling, rooting, rising and blooming – tackling womanhood, love and healing.
