Megababe founder Katie Sturino loves curling up in her giant Lovesac with a good book.
“I love a cozy mystery, not too scary, plenty of lovable characters and bonus points if it’s in a charming setting,” the author tells Page Six.
Sturino — whose new summer beach read, “Sunny Side Up,” is out now — adds, “I also find many celebrity memoirs to be fascinating. We assume these people popped out of nowhere but I love reading about what it took to get where they are.”
The body acceptance advocate says her love of reading came from her mom, who has been in a book club with the same women for over 50 years.
“I grew up seeing the bonds that books can make,” she explains.

“I think this book is brilliant. The way Miranda July brings the reader through the inner dialogue of such a unique character is like nothing I’ve read. I am an avid ‘listener’ of books and I love to listen to anything by Miranda July as hearing it all from her own voice is so special. She shows you where to laugh, cry and feel seen… all with her tone.”
“The stories in this book convey the heartbreak of being a woman looking for love within marriage, outside of marriage, and with someone who takes advantage of an open heart. It’s heartbreaking and relatable to anyone who has misplaced their emotions.”
“Sunny is the character we all need right now! I would be remiss not to mention her…a plus-size heroine living her best life.”
“I have read every book in this series. You come for the cozy mystery and stay for the characters that become like family. Perfect for fall and winter when you’re all cozied up.”
“I’m obsessed with Ina — who isn’t? I found this such a refreshing story and made me fall more in love with her. This is another that I listened to… as all celebrity memoirs should be consumed.”
“I have listened to this book twice. Trevor Noah educates the reader on the hardships of growing up in South Africa as a child with a white father and black mother, while also sharing stories that will make you wet your pants. It’s a tough needle to thread and he does it beautifully.”
