Tia Mowry Shares Her All-Time Favorite Books in 'Shelf Portrait'
She has a gorgeous library in her bedroom!
Tia Mowry's chic library, located in her room (a dream!), is filled with a variety of books alongside her "shrine of accomplishments," as seen in Marie Claire’s latest episode of Shelf Portrait, where celebrities, influencers, and famous bookworms invite us inside their homes to show off their personal libraries.
Mowry proudly has her first book, Oh, Baby!, displayed on her shelf, as well as candles, flowers, sage, and pictures. In the video, she reveals her five favorite books of all time are James Frey's A Million Little Pieces (everybody is struggling with something in their life and this books speaks to that), Rhonda Byrne's The Secret (she says it changed her life!), Don Miguel Ruiz's The Four Agreements (it gave her so much wisdom), Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist (it's all about looking for the signs), and Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat Pray Love (the ultimate lesson that women can create their own journey).
The actress and author would also love to see her and her sister's book, Twintuition, turned into a movie (maybe even on the Disney Channel!), and the childhood book she loved growing up was Dr. Seuss's Green Eggs and Ham.
Watch Mowry's full Shelf Portrait video above, then order some of her favorite books for yourself, below.
