If there’s anyone who could convince us to read even more than we already do, it’s Sarah Jessica Parker. The actress, producer and eternal style muse recently revealed she’s reading TWO. BOOKS. PER. DAY (!!) in preparation for her role as a 2025 Booker Prize judge. Whether or not you believe she’s genuinely powering through 170 titles at lightning speed, there’s no denying that Parker’s literary taste is just as curated and covetable as her Manolo Blahnik collection.

While she’s long been known to tote a novel through the streets of Manhattan (both on screen and off), Parker’s current reading list is less beach read, more prize-worthy. The titles in her recently publicised reading stack are books that feel rich, urgent, and deeply human – ideal for the kind of winter night that calls for a blanket, red wine, and a few uninterrupted hours off-grid.

Below, we’ve rounded up 13 of her current favourites – a little literary, a little lofty, and all completely Carrie Bradshaw approved books. From sweeping family sagas to intimate character portraits and post-war reckonings, these are the titles we're adding to our GoodReads lists and bedside to-read stacks...
