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. How to Talk to a Widower by Jonathan Tropper
2. Start Something That Matters by Blake Mycoskie

The Hot Zone

The Hot Zone: A Terrifying True Story by Richard Preston

If you prefer to remain blissfully oblivious to the fact that our entire population could be wiped out in a stunningly short time…definitely skip this book. I had previously heard about Ebola, but had no idea how catastrophic it can be. This book is terrifying!

A recommend for the scientific or curious reader.
