Scribbles by ME

Books Worth Reading More Than Once

Books are like old friends to me and there are some I choose to revisit over and over.  These may not Masterpieces to you, but they awaken in me an opportunity to be transported to other ages and other places. So, I thought today I would share my favorites with you.  I know this list is not inclusive and that I will be adding to over the year.  The one promise I can make to you is that if you read them, you will be entertained or perhaps even appalled by man’s inhumanity to man.

In no particular order they are:
Heaven is For Real by Todd Burpo
The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly
The Quickie by James Patterson & Friend

**If you listen to audiobooks, anything by Jennifer Cruise is wonderful.  While she is a good read, in audio, her books and marvelous characters just jumpout at you in 3-D. Her characters are, for want of a better word, real CHARACTERS.  They are blown up characterizations that are entirely believable.  When you just want to lighten your mood, go to the library and ask for any audiobook by Jennifer Cruise.
