My Holiday Reading Picks



The holiday season can be a wonderful time to read and reflect. As an Author, I am often asked what books I like reading. So, I decided to put together a list of my 2011 Holiday Reading Picks. This post is in 3 parts... 1. Kindle 2. My Recommendations & 3. My FB Fan Recommendations. Enjoy...

First, after an unscientific Facebook poll, my fans choose the Kindle as their reader of choice (even including paper). iPad with the free Kindle App was a close second. So I first have to recommend that you wish for a KINDLE for the holidays!

Journey Above the Arctic Circle - By: Brian Lawrenson











Norwegian Wood - By: Haruki Murakami / Translated by: Jay Rubin
