3. Wannabe: Reckoning with the Pop Culture that Shape Me by Aisha Harris

NPR pop culture correspondant and co-host of the Pop Culture Hour Podcast, Aisha Harris writes about the pop culture of her childhood of the 90s in a series of essays. She examines how it has influenced her and how she pushes back against some of the messages it portrays even as she still loves it. I thought it was a really enjoyable book that will appeal to pop culture lovers, especially those people with a special love of 90s pop culture. I give it an 8 out of 10.
