If you’re anything like me, you obsess over anything that can make you close to your favorite celebrity. Many people pay attention to the makeup or clothing that models or actors use because they see their consistency and believe it can be trusted. While I’m a skincare and makeup gal, I think one of the best things to take away from celebrities is their favorite books. It shows character, interest, and could bring you a little bit closer to having something in common with them if you truly see them as a role model. Moreover, this sort of aspect helps humanize our faves because it shows a good scale of what they’re doing in their free time, and while they inspire us, it shows the world who or what is inspiring them.
