For Readers

Looking for something new to read? 

This is a good place to start. 

We novelists (whether published or aspiring) hear early on that the number one reason why books sell (or don't) comes down to...word of mouth. The power of recommendation. I know that I've discovered many of my favorite books by hearing about them from other readers.   

This page is a resource for readers (which means its for reader and writers, because good writers are great readers). Here I will share lists of books that I have read and recommend or would like to read, as well as the occasional book review. And I'd love to hear from you too! Although often solitary activities, reading and writing are simultaneously done in community. Cool right?! (Ooooh! I should write a post on that topic. Stay tuned!) This page is a place to foster that community. 

So enjoy and keep checking back as I'll be adding cool content as often as I can. 

Happy Reading!
