5 Books Meghan Markle recommends everyone to read

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex and former actress, used to have a lifestyle blog called The Tig. She shared her favourite recipes, style tips, influencers she loves and more on the website. However, the site became defunct in 2017 but thanks to the internet archives, we were able to find the list of books that she is fond and recommends everyone to read. 

The Duchess of Sussex shared a list of books she called the “badass reading list” that consisted of 5 books. She wrote, “a badass is someone who is strong of spirit, brave and fearless, self-aware yet selfless, and always striving to be the best version of themselves.” And we couldn’t agree more. 

Here are the 5 ‘badass’ book Meghan Markle recommended everyone to read.
