A Must Read

Leave a Comment/ 1187/ 0
I am always on the lookout for good books to read!   I have rediscovered my love for reading as of late since I do not have the “distractions” of a real job and I have totally enjoyed being able to get the chance to revisit this lifelong love of mine.   Books just take me away.   Hard for me to put them down. Chris bought me a Kindle a year ago and I have loved having that option since it is so portable!  I am able to take it on trips and have as many books as I want to have just in one little device.  I didn’t think I would like it but I do!!!
One of the books that I have had the pleasure of reading lately is “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett.  This book was recommended to me by a friend and Facebook buddy in North Carolina and I totally enjoyed it.   It is one of those books that opens your eyes. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like to read about what it was like for blacks and whites in 1962 in the South—amazing that this was actually thought to be appropriate behavior.   Below is a link to a better description of the book than I can write myself!  Let me know if you read it and what your thoughts are.

I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...

All the Light We Cannot See

This is quite a book! I had it recommended to me by several people and while I thought it might be a little dark and depressing it made me have a better understanding of what life in this time period was like. The strength of the huma...

An Abundance of Katherines

Another great book by John Green. I have become a huge fan of John Green since my reading of A Fault in our Stars and this book was another that did not disappoint me at all. It was a story of a child prodigy, a lot of anagrams, and a b...
