Books I Love

(in no particular order)

When I visit other author’s websites, I always enjoy seeing a list of their favorite books. It’s fun to see how many I’ve read and get recommendations.

Here’s a list of my favorites for you. I’ll add new ones when I finish something great, or remember one I liked in the past.
