Agate Nesaule

A Woman in Amber: Healing the Trauma of War and Exile--Wow!  It was horrific and shocking, but so real.  It is about a woman and her experience of living through the war. 

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

The Gulag Archipelago: 1918-1956--It was a tough one to read, but very intriguing in it's descriptions of war.

Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games--A-M-A-ZING!!!!  I still dream about this book and even more so now that I've read it twice. 

Catching Fire--So good! 

The Mockingjay--I just love this series!  It's probably one of my all time favorites ever and I will read it a thousand times and it will never get old.

Kathryn Stockett

The Help--I could not put this book down.  It was captivating and exciting.  I loved every word!

Erin Morgenstern

The Night Circus--This was a pretty good book.  It had a few twists that I didn't expect, kept me interested.  My friend from Germany knows this author and so it was fun to hear about her firsthand.

Sigmund Freud

Civilization and Its Discontents--an interesting read

Stephen King

IT --I was disappointed in this one.  I thought it would scare me a lot more than it did.  But it was decent, just not my favorite by Stephen King.
