If Jenny Slate Was Your Librarian, She’d Want You to Read These 10 Books

Jenny Slate is very literally one of our favorite rising stars, right now. Actually, it seems she’s everyone’s favorite, even Gifted co-star and ex-boyfriend Chris Evans, who called her “the best.” Ugh, they have to get back together, already! I know, I know — it’s none of my business. I’m being a digital meddler. I just love them. Sigh… I digress. 

If you follow Slate on Instagram, which you should, you know that she’s not only insightful and deep and has an eloquent way with words, but she’s also an avid reader. Being that we’re always on the hunt for good books, we asked Slate to give us her top 10 recommendations. Here they are. And don’t forget to see Gifted in theaters on April 12.
