Winter Garden
By: Kristin Hannah
If you need a good cry, this book is for you. It is about two sisters who are coping with their mother aging. What they find out about their mother’s past will keep this book a page turner. Great for these cold evenings.
Cuddle up and enjoy with a hot cup of spiked apple cider!

My (again not so current because I am swimming in the deep end of leadership books for my Master’s classes) current literary obsession:
The Glass Castle
By: Jeannette Walls
This book is one of those books that sets off a reading frenzy. Does anyone else experience this phenomenon? This book is so good it will make you go read ten more books, with the hope of finding one just as good. Fortunately, this book, a memoir, has a prequel, Half Broke Horses, to quench that thirst once you finish.

Current Read: Joy the Baker
Love everything about this cookbook. Love everything about Joy (please check out the video on her ‘about me’ page! Too. Cute.) She not only is an amazing cook that makes the most incredible dishes, but her writing is also witty and fun. I so enjoy reading her blog every morning and usually end up laughing or grinning ear to ear after doing so. She’s hilarious and such an inspiration.

My (not so) current literary obsession:
The Poisonwood Bible
By: Barbara Kingsolver
I have pulled this literary gem off the book shelf because this is probably one of the best books that I have read in the last 10 years. This novel is about a missionary family that moves deep into the heart of Africa. They bring with them only the items that they believe they will need for the short year they believe they will be staying. They have no clue just how hard this journey will be.
It richly touches on so many issues because each chapter is told from the mother’s and her four daughter’s perspectives.
You will not regret reading this book!
Happy reading!

My current literary obsession: Vinegar Hill
By: A. Manette Ansay
This book zooms in on a woman on a personal struggle of finding her place in her family that has moved back in with her husband’s family after he loses his job. She feels unappreciated, undervalued, and that her life is taking the mundane turn she never expected for herself.
It is a quick read that leaves you thinking long after the book is over.
Happy reading!
