Some of my favorite books
The Red Tent
by Anita Diamant
"Gut wrenching outlook on the struggles of the biblical woman. Couldn't and still can't believe some of the very true things I read here. Nor could I put it down. It was girl power all the way."
A Million Little Pieces
by James Frey
"This book was supposed to be a true story written by a hopeless drug addict who gets clean. It turned out to be a lie - but what do you expect from a hopeless drug addict? It was so well written I became physically and emotionally ill while reading it."
The Nightingale
by Kristin Hannah
"My very favorite book of all time. Hannah does an amazing job of nailing down the bonds between mother and child and what we will do to keep our families safe. I cried and cried some more throughout this book and through all the twists and turns of Hitler's Germany and the Jewish plight."
The Other Bolelyn Girl
by Phillipa Gregory
"Sexy look at life and betrayal and self sabotage during the reign of Henry VIII. I ignored my family for days while reading this scandalous account of Mary Bolelyn's life through Gregory's wild, uninhibited imagination. I bought every book she ever wrote after reading this one."
Pillars of the Earth
Ken Follett
"I never thought I'd love a book about the development of Gothic architecture in the 12th century, but alas, this is really a must read for everyone."
The Night Circus
by Erin Morgenstern
"I can't wait for this book to be made into a movie. It was nothing short of magical."
