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. Schindler’s List by Thomas Keneally
  2. The Big Short by Michael Lewis
  3. The Quickie  by James Patterson
  4. The Bright Side of Disaster by Katherine Center
  5. The Giver by Lois Lowry
  6. Natural Born Charmer by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
  7. CEO of Me by Ellen Kossek and Brenda Lautsch
