Monday!



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.

This week-- 10 recommendations (in no particular order):

  1. The New York Times Guide to Essential Knowledge by John Leonard
  2. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
  3. Sail by James Patterson
  4. Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls
  5. The Informant by James Grippando
  6. Genesis by Bernard Beckett
  7. Columbine by Dave Cullen
  8. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
  9. Just One of the Guys by Kristan Higgins
  10. In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson
