Literary Picks

There are so many good (and not-so-good) books out there, it can sometimes be hard to decide what’s worth your time. As both a writer and former English teacher, I’m frequently asked for book recommendations, which I’m often hesitant to provide because people’s tastes do not always align. Nevertheless, I’ve compiled an eclectic list of my favorite reads (both fiction and non-fiction) for anyone looking for something new and interesting.
