The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd -- this book had me riveted from page one. I'm leading the discussion for the book club later this year and cannot wait to see what the rest of the Jld Sustainers thought about it!
The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer -- traces the history and coming of age of six friends who meet at camp in the seventies. Just my kind of book -- and since it was a gift from my best friend Cathy, I loved it even more.
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt -- finger lickin' good. Pulitzer winner.
A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole -- if you've never read this one, do it in 2015. Joe gave it to me in high school and I've read it many times since. We all have a bit of Ignatius in us -- some more than others, of course.
Queen of the Turtle Derby by Julia Reed -- I love everything of Julia's and read this when it came out in the 2000's and again last year since Julia was the speaker for Community Partners of Dallas' Chick Lit Luncheon in 2014. Hilarious. Hilarious. Hilarious.
Room by Emma Donoghue -- #CannotPutDownFiction -- this book is on my fav book list forever. Creepy stuff.
One More Thing by B.J. Novak -- B.J. was a writer and actor on The Office and he is laugh out loud funny. The new David Sedaris -- and I LOVE David Sedaris.
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz -- advice for living a successful life. I read this when it came out years and years ago and even kept copies of it to give to anyone who asked. Not sure why I let the practice go, but I resolve to reread it annually.
What are yours?
Happy new year, dear friends! <This is a borrowed greeting from one of my fav bloggers -- Katie at Preppy Empty Nester! Giving the girl credit...
