Sarah Shahi, known for her role in “Paradise,” is an avid reader who chooses books that reflect her personal life’s desires.
“I’m deeply romantic and very spiritual,” shared Shahi, whose upcoming book “Life is Lifey” releases on January 27. “Give me stories of growth, enchantment, and love, and I’m captivated.”
The actress from “Sex/Life” mentioned how her busy lifestyle benefits from the slowing power of a good book.
Below are the six books that have profoundly impacted her, both personally and as a writer.
“The Time Traveler’s Wife” by Audrey Niffenegger
“This novel completely overwhelmed me in the most wonderful way. It’s a beautiful tale of love, where two souls choose each other across various timelines, defying all they know to be true. I used up a whole box of tissues by the end of it.”
“A Curious Mind” by Brian Grazer and Charles Fishman
“I’ve always admired Brian Grazer’s films, but his book made a lasting impression. It champions the virtues of curiosity and inquiry as essential life skills. The book offers practical advice on approaching problems and asking for help, illustrating how powerful curiosity can be.”
“Assistant to the Villain” by Hannah Nicole Maehrer
“I devoured this book in one session. It’s about a woman who desperately needs a job and ends up working for the local villain because she needs to pay her rent. The unexpected part? He’s mysteriously attractive. It’s a perfect mix of high-stakes drama, slow-burning romance, and fantasy.”
“A Court of Thorns and Roses” by Sarah J. Maas
“It seems like every woman has read this book. It’s a wild take on ‘Beauty and the Beast’ with elements of fantasy, danger, and romance. This entire series is intoxicatingly dramatic and delightfully risqué. I totally wanted to be Feyre!”
“Letter to My Daughter” by Maya Angelou
“I’m a huge fan of Maya Angelou, and ‘Letter to My Daughter’ deeply inspired my own ‘Life is Lifey.’ I often read it in short bursts, returning to it for its wisdom. Angelou shares her experiences, wisdom, and heartaches, addressing readers as her ‘daughters’ globally. Her writing directly touches my soul, and her influence is pivotal in my healing process.”
“Untamed” by Glennon Doyle
“Glennon Doyle’s ‘Untamed’ also greatly influenced the structure of ‘Life is Lifey.’ I appreciate her non-linear narrative and how each chapter stands on its own. Doyle writes with such vivid emotion and honesty—it’s like she’s speaking directly through the pages. Her book encouraged me to embrace my true self, revealing that my perceived madness was actually a product of my own constraints.”
