The Bookshelf
I love to read. I always have. I’m always searching for good books. I love a good story.
My favorite authors include: Maya Angelou, Jodi Picoult, Anita Shreve, Jacquelyn Mitchard, Sandra Dallas, John Sandford, Audrey Niffenegger, Khaled Hosseini…
I used to love these authors, but I have not been impressed with their last several books: Patricia Cornwell, James Patterson…
