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. A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving
  2. Superfreakanomics by Steven Levitt
  3. Say You Love Me  by Johanna Lindsey
  4. Kiss an Angel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
