Books I have read and highly recommend.  Also, a shameless plug! Seriously, Tangled Tales is a great read that reimagines the stories we were told as kids....were they really children's stories or were they these adult tales hidden in those fables all along?

This is an interesting and eye opening read.  It won so many accolades.  If you have kids, give this a read - it really sheds light on how our phones, social media, etc effect the kids.

READ THIS!  I have owned this book for a good 10 years, if not more.  I love fiction that makes you go…wtf.  This could totally be real, but is pure fiction - or is it???  You won't be able to put this one down.
