I most enjoy reading realistic and historical fiction along with memoirs and self-help. I'm drawn to books that paint vivid pictures of settings and characters, impact me in a meaningful way, or challenge me to think differently. I'm a sucker for Southern fiction like The Help; books with a pioneer spirit like Half Broke Horses; books written by African American authors like Toni Morrison; and books with a bit of realistic suspense like Drowning Ruth.
