2020
When I started this blog, or people would ask me for, I would give out my TOP TEN READS. They never really changed much. I would read more: I read like people breathe……but no book would take the place of another until these last few years when I have read books that I have fallen deeply in love with, such as War and Peace, A Gentleman in Moscow and Circe. Then I reread Rachel Held Evans at a time when the church had broke my heart, and it saved me. Currently I am reading Les Miserables and there is no way it isn’t going in the TOP TEN, it has qualified after one month in. Thus my new TOP TEN is born. My love for Shakespeare is 35 years old and still the language of it stills my very soul.
- The Diary of Anne Frank by Anne Frank
- Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
- War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
- Starring Sally J Freedman as Herself by Judy Blume
- A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
- Circe by Madeline Miller
- Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
- Family Album by Danielle Steel
- The Plum Tree by Ellen Marie Wiseman
- Searching for Sunday by Rachael Held Evans
- and SHAKESPEARE……..always Shakespeare
Falling off the list but still loved: Go Ask Alice, Alice in Wonderland, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Stealing Buddha’s Dinner, The Gift of Asher Lev…..
