Even if you haven’t actually written them down, we all have that list of books that we would love to take a day or two off (or ten) to enjoy. If you don’t well, feel free to borrow some from mine:
- “Orphan Train” by Christina Baker Kline — I know, this one has been on the bestseller list for a while, but if you’re reading list is anything like mine you’ll understand the struggles behind actually getting around to reading the books on it. This one; however, is most definitely next on my list…probably.
- “The Supreme Macaroni Company” by Adriana Trigiani — I have to give myself a pat on the back for this one because I’m actually reading this one. This is the third book in a series, so if you haven’t read “Very Valentine” and “Brava, Valentine” already, you should definitely add those to your reading list. Although, if you haven’t read anything by Trigiani before, I would recommend starting with the “Big Stone Gap” series. She’s a gifted story-teller, and her books are all incredibly quick reads since it’s nearly impossible to put them down before you reach the back cover.
- “Go Set a Watchman” by Harper Lee — I usually reserve a spot for a classic that I haven’t read yet. However, considering this sequel to “To Kill a Mockingbird” was actually written over 50 years ago, it’s about as close to an instant classic as you can get. So, I think it’s worthy of its position.
