it her job. Robinson, who founded her Tiny Reparations Books imprint five years ago, tells Page Six that “to know me is to know I love books.” “Not only do I love them, I smell them,” the

comedian says. “Seriously, I adore cracking one open and getting a good whiff. Don’t judge my journey!” The “You Can’t Touch My Hair” author tells us that going from a blogger to New York

Times bestseller to founding her own imprint has been “a dream come true.” “And while so much of the book world has now become a job, I still find pleasure in reading,” the “2 Dope Queens”

co-creator adds. “Whether it’s on a plane, in the corner nook of my couch or on the subway, reading is a big part of my life.” See below for the “2 Dope Queens” co-creator’s six must-read

books. “Definitive. Long overdue. Dazzling. What Tourmaline does is necessary and moving. Marsha is one of the seminal figures of our time and to finally have her life captured in a book

feels like the biggest gift. So lucky that I get to be the one to publish this monumental work.” ------------------------- “Samantha Irby is one of my favorite essayists. Her ability to be

vulnerable, hilarious and raw should be studied. This book had me cackling loudly.” ------------------------- “As someone who is an ambivert, I was really drawn to Susan Cain’s comprehensive

work. It provided such clarity and renewed my understanding of how the world works.” ------------------------- “I read this in one day. That is high praise! Cathy Park Hong’s book and

writing is riveting, intellectually challenging and wonderful. I’m such a fan.” ------------------------- “I read this the year I sold and wrote my first book. Chock-full of information and

tons of heart. Getting into the weeds of the craft is one of the best ways to honor what we as writers get to do.” ------------------------- “This is, hands down, the best book I’ve ever

read. So powerful and unforgettable and engrossing. I recommend this to everyone!” -------------------------
