On top of releasing a memoir [1], a compilation album [2], and a Christmas special [3], Mariah Carey [4] still found time to read a good book this year. As 2020 comes to a close, the singer took a moment to share her "essential reading" list, and we're already adding some of these titles to our carts. While her own memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, is at the top of the stack (we love a shameless plug), there are also some bestsellers like Untamed by Glennon Doyle [5] and The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett in the mix. See what else was on Carey's reading list this year ahead, then get even more reading inspiration with POPSUGAR's 2021 Reading Challenge [6].
