It comes as no surprise that Embraced By The Light is on the trio's list. Upon its first publication in 1992 it was met with instant success, selling out within two weeks and topping the New York Times Bestseller List. In the memoir, Betty J. Eadie writes about a near-death experience she faced. It's clearly one of Kim's favourite books, as older sister Kourtney revealed that Kim has been raving about it since they were teenagers. "After hearing you talk about it for 15 years I can't believe I've never read it," she wrote in a message on Twitter to her sister. "You have to join our book club we're starting Monday! Go order the book!" replied Kim.
