Recent Reading

As I've mentioned before, I am an avid reader and I absolutely LOVE reading. Not only do I enjoy reading, I think that it substantially increases my vocabulary and improves my writing. I'm a very fast reader; I usually average a book every two weeks. Thus, I am constantly on the look-out for new books to read! Here are a few of my recent favorites:

South of Broad by Pat Conroy (probably my favorite author):

The Help by Kathryn Stockett:Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah:

Next up in my queue is The Other Queen by Philippa Gregory:
Gregory wrote The Other Boleyn Girl, which got me hooked on her series about the Tudor Monarchy. I am a history junkie, so these books have kept me occupied for a while!
Do you have any good book recommendations? Please share!

  3. i can't seem to get into "south of broad." the author uses SO many adjectives and adverbs - it's distracting!! but, since i used to live SOB (on S.Battery) I'm determined to keep going!
