I was at Borders Books before they went out of business and found my first book by Pam Jenoff called The Kommandant’s Girl and that got me started reading many more amazing WWII historical fiction books!

I started reading Dick Francis when I was 14. He combines England and horses. Win. Win.

The Great Gatsby because of Fitzgerald’s writing and the storyline itself. On the outside, it seems like a typical love story but Fitzgerald makes it so much more. Also, The Girl from Berlin series because it got my creative juices going, allow me to formulate my own series, and pushed me to finally start my writing career after years of putting it off.

Right now today The Last Time I was Me by Cathy Lamb, (who does like a book about a woman running naked by a river? To get over her anger management issues?) The Marriage Lie, by Kimberly Belle (because I love the ending), The Long Way Home, by Charles Martin(because it touched my heart and made me ugly cry) I could go on and on but these are some great and wonderful reads!

I like most kinds of books except romance and science fiction and I especially like variety not the same kind all of the time.

My latest fave The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris

Every so often a love story comes along to remind us that in our darkest hour, hope shines a candle to light our way . Heather Morris does a wonderful job telling the true story of Lale Sokolov.

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, Saving Cee Cee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman, and Dollbaby by Laura Lane McNeal. All 3 of these books are set in the south and have strong, quirky female characters. I seem to have a thing for that in my reading. All 3 are excellent 5 star books in my opinion. I highly recommend them.

Tuesday’s with Morrie by Mitch Albom, Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood, The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walsh, The Crucible (yes, it’s a play, but still writing) by Arthur Miller, and Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. They all hold a special place in my heart, either because of the story, the subject matter, or simply the way they made me feel.
