items These are books that have stayed with me. Sadly, the older I get the less patience I have for reading so I really need a story that grabs my attention and keeps it.
A timeless classic.
To Kill a Mockingbird (Pulitzer Prize Winner) by Harper Lee, Paperback
Have you ever read a book and felt wrong for liking it? This book is that. While the story is about a very wrong situation you still want happy endings for the two main characters. You will love or hate this book.
All the Ugly and Wonderful Things: A Novel by Bryn Greenwood, Paperback
This book is like 400 pages and I read it in 1 day. I could not put it down. So many details about this horrible tragedy that I'd never heard before. Very in depth.
Columbine - Cullen, Dave: Books
A story about how trauma at a young age affects a woman throughout her life. I've read this book probably 10 times. I wish they'd make a movie!
She's Come Undone: Lamb, Wally
I love historical nonfiction and this one is great! You'll learn lots of details about the short lives of Bonnie and Clyde and also about all the shootouts and close calls they had along the way. Sad ending for them.
Go Down Together: True Story of Bonnie & Clyde
I don't even own a motorcycle but I loved this book. It was crazy to read about some of the things Sonny and the other members of his club did and got away with. Highly recommend.
The Life and Times of Sonny Barger & Hell's Angels
How many times did I read this when I was younger? That's between myself and the good lord. Winter's story is so good even if she's not a great person. Sadly, I didnt enjoy any of the sequels or follow-ups but this story about the daughter of a drug ...
The Coldest Winter Ever: A Novel
David Sedaris' humor is genius. I love (almost) all of his books. This book about parts of his life is so funny I've read it multiple times.
When You Are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris
A deeper look at how slavery and racism have effected the evolution of our country. If you like nonfiction this is for you.
The Warmth of Other Suns: America's Migration
Way better than the movie. A story about a girl growing up in poverty.
The Glass Castle: A Memoir by Jeannette Walls
There's a reason this one is on everyone's list.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: A Novel
I put off reading this because I didn't think I would like it and I ended up loving it.
The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini: Books
