My Favorite Reads

While I created this website to discuss my writing career, I figure I should discuss some of the works that have inspired me to pursue my passion. This list is not exhaustive, but highlights some of the great works that I wish I could read for the first time again:

First, I need to give a nod to Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. I read this book when I was twelve, and immediately picked up pen and paper afterwards.

The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough

A Land Remembered by Patrick D. Smith

A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray

Eragon by Christopher Paolini

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Daerr

The Red Tent by Anita Diamant

A Year of Biblical Womanhood by Rachel Held Evans

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson

Currently, I am making my way through the Sarah J Mass Universe. Two series down (ACOTAR and CC), one to go!
