Yes, I have a book that I love–I know this Much is True by Wally Lamb. The book touched me–it spoke to my heart–it told about real unselfish love and generosity and total goodness. I have read many, many books, but this one was special. I also feel that there would be no real world […]
As a bookstore manager, I was able to read an advance copy of this book, and I have to say that I was instantly blown away. The story was epic and yet personal; there was a whole hidden world (one of my favorite fantasy tropes) and it was about destiny and choice and the balance […]
This book was an incredible insight into the inner workings of the US Government between the 80s through the early 2000s.

This book, a Newbery Award winner, was mesmerizing to me on so many levels.

Dog Man means a lot to me because it teaches people to do the right thing.
My favorite book, besides the Holy Bible, is the children’s book, A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L’Engle. I have read it many times both by myself and to children. I had the privilege of having lunch with the author. Even though the book is over 50 years old, the message is never out of […]
