items I am not a one genre gal, I love reading it all! So if it seems like I’m all over the board- welcome to my world!
This has it all- love, history, family, tragedy, home - I think about it all the time, wish I could go back on the journey that was reading this gem.
Go as a River by Shelley Read
Loved the story of friendship and art! So many twists in this story of lifelong friendship! It made me think about the magic of those childhood friendships. Excellent read!!!
My Friends: A Novel by Fredrik Backman, Hardcover
A really great read! Emotional ties and unexpected twists! Couldn’t put this one down, either!
The River Is Waiting
I know- everyone’s reading it, tattooing it, talking about it- but there’s a reason- it is actually good! Will lift the weight of the world. Bonus- if you drive a lot, this is a good listen as well!!!
The Let Them Theory: Life-Changing Tool
If you like crime fiction, this is your book!! I loved this one! Couldn’t put it down! I’m already choosing my next read by Cosby!
All the Sinners Bleed by S. A. Cosby, Paperback
The breather after the intensity of life (and crime fiction!). It’s more about being an artist, it’s a guide for life!
The Creative Act: A Way of Being by Rick Rubin
I fell in love memoir a while back then left it alone, THIS is an incredible journey. Highly recommend! (I want to meet Viola Davis now, if anyone has a connection 😊)
Finding Me: A Memoir: Davis, Viola - Books
This is my all time favorite book, and it was a perennial favorite for seniors in my English classes (yes, I taught English as well as Art - we will talk about the middle school science later). Maya Angelou is a queen.
I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings: Angelou, Maya,
If you have children READ THIS, PLEASE. If you teach children, READ THIS, PLEASE. If you own a cell phone, READ THIS, PLEASE. We all need to help change the course of our digital world. It's well written and makes sense.
The Anxious Generation: Great Rewiring of Childhood
These books are fun - quirky characters in cute small towns. The hardcover editions have artwork around the edges of the pages as well! Super cute and fun if you like to hang on to books like . . . um . . . some people I know! lol
