National Read a Book Day invites us ALL to grab a book we might enjoy and spend the day reading.  Reading improves memory and concentration, and it REDUCES stress. As part of Sonsie’s dedication to self-care, we highly recommend curling up with a good book.
Books are great sources of education and entertainment…and they can take you anywhere you want to go, from the comfort of your favorite chair.
Our co-founder Pamela Anderson is BIG reader and we have put together some great recommendations for you.

Pamela’s Recommendations
Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams
“This is a sad, compelling play about a broken family. I would love to take on the role of the mother. She is a tragic, interesting character and the play is so beautifully written.”

The One Inside by Sam Shepherd
“A great plane read. Shepherd makes regular life feel dreamy and disruptive. He has a gorgeous writing style that addresses taboos and desires. It’s dirty, dusty and so real.”

Just Kids by Patti Smith
“A tender and wild true story by Patti Smith - one of the great poets of our time. I have always been fascinated by NY and the artist’s life, especially the lives lived at the infamous Chelsea Hotel.”

Under a Glass Bell by Anais Nin
“I’m fortunate to have been gifted a first-edition signed copy of this book. When I hold it in my hands, it sends shivers down my spine. Anais Nin has inspired me for decades and is one of my favorite authors.”

The Garden of Eden by Ernest Hemingway
“I love Hemingway’s style. He has an overt manliness and sadness. I have always found him to be sexy and disturbing. He lived his myth and I’m drawn to his stories for their authenticity.”

Big Sur by Jack Kerouac
“There are so many great Kerouac books, and this is one of my favorites, probably because it is about one of my favorite places in the world.”
