10. SIGNS by Laura Lynne Jackson
Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe is a bestselling nonfiction book by psychic medium Laura Lynne Jackson, which offers a modern, accessible guide to recognizing and interpreting spiritual messages from loved ones, spirit guides, and the “Other Side.” The book blends deeply personal anecdotes, accounts from her clients, and practical advice to help readers become more attuned to the signs and synchronicities that offer comfort, guidance, and a sense of connection beyond this life.

12. I AM OZZY by Chris Ayres
I Am Ozzy is the brutally honest, wildly entertaining autobiography of John "Ozzy" Osbourne, legendary frontman of Black Sabbath and iconic solo artist. Co-written with journalist Chris Ayres, the memoir pulls back the curtain on Ozzy's journey from poverty and troublemaking in Birmingham, England, to global stardom, tabloid infamy, and improbable survival through decades of excess.
