Okay, so that wasn't so quick. Whatever.
This year I discovered Liane Moriarty and read a few of her books. I also finally read The Rosie Project which had been on my list for quite a while. I wondered if I also had early onset Alzheimer's after reading Still Alice. I fell in love with Ruth Reichl's writing as she combined food with beautiful imagery. Her descriptions were magnificent. Anne Frank made me think and feel. As I read her account of hiding, I kept thinking why didn't people stand up and do something. Little did I know that months later, I'd be watching my own country lose its mind and rational thinking. Fear is a powerful motivator and, unfortunately, some know how to use it against rational thinking. This is one of the reasons I love books so much. They teach us, expand our minds, help us to ask important questions. Last year had a reading list that had a little fluff, a little sadness, a little history, and lots of imagination. I can't wait to see what 2016 has in store.
Happy Reading!
