30 days of thanks: Day 12
Today I'm thankful for books. Books that showed up at my door yesterday. Yep. So I could have a release party tonight.
Of course, not only those books, but books in general. I love reading books. My mother instilled the love of reading in me. I've been reading since I could, devouring Dr. Seuss, Donald J. Sobol, Judy Blume, then on to S.E. Hinton, then Stephen King, J.R.R. Tolkein, Ray Bradbury. I even enjoy some Shakespeare from time to time. Those are authors whose books (and plays) I've read a lot.
Some favorite books:
Handmaid's Tale by Margaret AtwoodThe Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel HawthorneThe Crucible by Arthur MillerTo Kill a Mockingbird by Harper LeeLord of the Flies by William GoldingOf Mice and Men by John SteinbeckThe Jungle by Upton SinclairInterview with a Vampire by Anne Rice.
More contemporary novels I've liked have been:
The Beet Queen by Louise ErdrichFried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe by Fannie FlaggThe World According to Garp John IrvingShe's Come Undone by Wally LambMystic River by Dennis Lehane (I also enjoyed his McKenzie series)Red Dragon & Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris (never read Hannibal)Geek Love by Katherine Dunn
When it comes to Young Adult fiction, some of my favorites are:
The Wicked and the Just by J Anderson CoatsLiving Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott13 Reasons Why by Jay AsherThe Pull of Gravity by Gae PolisnerBreaking Beautiful by Jennifer Shaw WolfStupid Fast by Geoff HerbachLove & Leftovers by Sarah TregayPopular by Alissa TregayXVI by Julia KarrDivergent by Veronica Roth (I can't wait to read the rest of the series)The Hunger Games series by Suzanne CollinsThe Harry Potter series by J.K. RowlingTruly, I could go on and on all day. And if you're looking for recommendations from me, note, that aside from a few of these books, I read very much like I write, books that tackle tough subject matters. The stories aren't always pretty and there aren't always happily ever afters.
Are there any books you are thankful are in the world?
If you're in the Tacoma area, don't forget about my book signing tonight at Garfield Book Company at 7 pm.
