The Reading List: New Knowledge for a New Year

During this time of the year, we all know what everyone's favorite phrase to say or express their hatred for is: "New year, new me!" I could care less which side of the spectrum you stand on, as long as you include bettering yourself in 2014 on your to-do list. Here are some books I'm looking forward to divulging in or have already gained some precious gems from in the new year.

1.
Man Repeller: Seeking Love, Finding Overalls
Leandra Medine

2.
The Asylum: A collage of couture reminiscences... and hysteria
Simon Doonan

3.
StraightRazor
Lemon Andersen
