I didn't become a huge reading fan until I got older, but here are my recommendations so far.

Sections

Books- Audio, Softcover, Hardcover

I love true crime, autobiography/life stories & comedy the most. Share your suggestions with me!

Hard book to read, part of a tough but amazing series!

A Child Called It: One Child's Courage to Survive

Got it as a Christmas gift, love the series! These not only look great, but there's more details to each story that weren't shown in the movies.

Harry Potter Paperback Box Set (Books 1-7)

Warning: adults only; Great reads, I got sucked right in, highly recommend!

Fifty Shades Trilogy (Fifty Shades of Grey...)

This book had me hooked, it was a bit intense at times, I wish it ended differently.

The Quiet Tenant: A novel: 9780593534649

I listened to the audiobook. I never realized how much this young lady went through. My niece watched her shows & I thought she was a cute/great actress. This book was deep! I hope it helped her cope & heal

I'm Glad My Mom Died (Audible Audio Edition)

Robert Keller is my favorite true crime writer. Deadly women is a great series! This link is for deadly woman book 1.

Robert Keller: books, biography, latest update

This was very good. I'm glad Jill has found her own way in life.

Counting the Cost (Audible Audio Edition)

Very good book about a young ladies school experience. As a fellow person with CP, although I can speak, I related to this book in some ways!

Out of My Mind

Another great read about another awesome person with CP!

My Left Foot

Amazing book all around but especially for the early childhood population, so cute!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

I used this book for a children's literature class project in college. It is great & is a favorite of mine.

The Rainbow Fish

One of the best books written, even as an adult I still enjoy it.

Where the Wild Things Are

These are the books that got me interested in reading as a child!

Nancy Drew

This is another great example of not judging a book by it's cover. Or of not making assumptions based on ones disability. All along martin struggled until he could finally prove to people he was still alive inside, the same person who just wanted to ...

Ghost Boy: Escape of a Misdiagnosed Boy

This was very well written, but also aa shockingly heartbreaking read. I couldn't stop reading it.

To The Last Breath

Yet another heartbreaking read, it discusses the "little boy blue" case from 1985. It is very well written & I finished it faster than I expected.

Abandoned Prayers

These aren't the sweet, happy ending cartoon fairy tales we know and love. This is the complete collection of the real fairy tales that inspired those referenced above. They're dark, twisted and dare I say, grim but so good!

Grimm's Fairy Tales: Complete Edition (Annotated)

Sign is a beautiful language that I was lucky enough to experience as well as learn when I was a child. I am definitely in need of a refresher & this book is a huge help! It has more than 200 signs!

The Everything Sign Language Book: ASL Made Easy

This is book 2 of 3 by Dave Pelzer.. this title follows a child called it

The Lost Boy: A Foster Child's Search for Love

The final installment in the Dave Pelzer trilogy. His is definitely a story of triumph! I hope he is well.

A Man Named Dave: Triumph and Forgiveness

This Shel Silverstein classic of short poems & drawings is a huge favorite of mine. I own the hardcover & truly love it.

Where the Sidewalk Ends: Poems and Drawings

Like others who grew up in the 90s, I loved the goosebumps books! This is a great collection to share with your kids!
