Mel Robbins's books and book recommendations
Across 6 podcasts. Every show Mel Robbins appears on, in one place — not just one.
Melanie Lee Robbins is an American author, podcast host, and lawyer. On her podcast, The Mel Robbins Podcast, she regularly shares various book recommendations and reflections with her listeners. She discussed reading all five books in Sarah J. Maas's fantasy series A Court of Thorns and Roses and expressed her admiration for Pierce Brown's science fiction works, displaying three volumes of the Red Rising series during an episode. Robbins recommended Kristin Hannah's novel Firefly Lane, noting that her mother-in-law had given it to her, and she praised Virginia Evans's The Correspondent as well as John Grisham's The French Illusion, which she highlighted as an espionage novel rather than a legal thriller. Additionally, she endorsed Jonathan Haidt's blockbuster book The Anxious Generation for its research and advocacy supporting class action lawsuits, and she strongly encouraged her audience to pick up Lisa Damour's The Emotional Lives of Teenagers, describing it as both enlightening and hopeful for anyone looking to support young people going through difficult times.
