Matrescence Reading List: Book Recommendations -- Digital Download

Matrescence Reading List is a zine of book recommendations by Amy Bornman. The 20-page zine recommends 57 books that fit under the ever-widening umbrella of “books about motherhood,” featuring a mini review for each title.

“Throughout my life, I’ve always looked to books to help me understand my place in the universe, to help me find my way through big changes and shifts, and I’ve needed that more than ever as I’ve become a mother. These books have reassured me so many times — I’m not alone, I’m part of the world, I’m where I need to be.”

(Excerpt from Matrescence Reading List)

This listing is for the digital download version of the zine. To print your own zine, print the “matrescencereadinglist -- printable.pdf” file double-sided on letter-sized paper using a printer that has automatic duplex printing. Print the cover file separately — card stock makes a beautiful and durable cover. Use staples or thread to bind.

Also includes a scrolling pdf for digital reading.

Available as a limited edition print zine too! (Here!)
