Nara Smith shares six books that inspire and stay with her

Influencer Nara Smith shared six books she loves in a feature about what celebrities read.

Smith is known for viral cooking videos and has a debut cookbook, “Homemade,” out now.

She is drawn to books that feel immersive and memorable, with complicated relationships, vivid worlds or characters who stay with her.

Her choices include “Normal People” by Sally Rooney, “The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo” by Taylor Jenkins Reid and “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen.

The list also spans fantasy, mythology and classic fiction, with Sarah J. Maas’s “Throne of Glass” series, Madeline Miller’s “The Song of Achilles” and Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

Smith says the books explore themes such as love, ambition, empathy and how people see one another.

Her recommendations offer readers a glimpse of the stories that inspire her; no further plans were described.

I love how quiet and painfully human this storytelling is. Sally captures all the things people feel, but don’t know how to say — especially when it comes to love and timing.

Greek mythology has always fascinated me, so I was already drawn to this one.
