• Instead of selecting one Oprah's Book Club pick this month, Oprah released a list of the seven books that help her through tough times.
  • She'll be conducting conversations about the book on the Oprah's Book Club and Apple social platforms.
  • Check out her stack of uplifting books below, which includes the legendary Toni Morrison (of course!).

During this turbulent, uncertain time, it can be hard to focus on anything—even on one good book. That's why today, Oprah announced that over the coming weeks, she’ll be conducting conversations on both the Oprah’s Book Club and Apple social platforms around seven books she knows and trusts and revisits time and again.

The "Books That Help Me Through" book stack has been personally curated by Oprah. “In each of these books,” Oprah said, “and for various reasons, I find comfort, beauty, inspiration, reassurance. At a time when the ground is shifting beneath us, we need to continue to find ways of living our best lives, and for me, there is no best life without books.”

Take a look at all seven selections below.

Oprah invites readers to join her beginning today through November 30 at Oprah's Book Club Instagram and Facebook pages, using the hashtag #ReadWithUs to connect and share thoughts about these remarkable books.
