Monday Recommendations



Monday Recommendation List

Random list of 10 books Monday! I have read and enjoyed each of these enough to flag for a potential personal library purchase.

Be bold and just choose randomly, stick to your normal genre...or step outside of your normal
reading zone and try something you usually wouldn’t. You can look up the descriptions at Amazon.com, or search my blog for old posts by entering the title in the little search box in the top left-hand corner and clicking the magnifying glass.

  1. Rizzoli & Isles series (starts with The Surgeon) by Tess Gerritsen
  2. A Time to Kill by John Grisham
  3. Siblings Without Rivalry by Adele Faber

Blueprints for Building Better Girls



Blueprints for Building Better Girls by Elissa Schappell

I am not often a fan of short story collections, however, I really liked this one. Eloquent, slightly dark, sometimes humorous…I could feel myself in each story.

Schappell brings vulnerability to each character, crafting experiences that shape girls into women.
