On your nightstand now: I am mostly reading audiobooks at the moment, so nearly every book I have is on my nightstand!However, I also keep a wellness journal there, and I write it in morning and night.This is a good time to remind people you can support your favorite local bookstore by buying audiobooks through https://libro.fm
Favorite book when you were a child: Can I choose a children’s book I loved as an adult? It’s crazy, but beyond all the “Dick & Jane” books, and “Nancy Drew,” I don’t remember a childhood favorite. However, I have a clear winner as an adult—and as a mom reading to my kids. “The Lorax” by Dr. Seuss holds a special place in my heart.
Oh, and I also love “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street” – another Seussian treasure.
Your top five authors: Yikes, so hard! Living or dead? I have SO MANY faves! I have many dear friends who are also authors, so I try to stay away from this question generally. These days, I’m reading a lot of fantasy, both YA and adult. However, I adore Emily Brontë, Daphne du Maurier, Juliet Marillier, Joyce Maynard, and Barbara W. Tuchman.
And… I love Pamela Morsi and Judith McNaught. I am so fortunate that Pamela was my dearest friend in life. How lucky was I to know her?
Book you’ve faked reading: Les Misérables by Victor Hugo –though, actually not faked. I just never correct people when they assume I’ve read it. If you ask me straight out, I won’t lie!
Book you’re an evangelist for: Simple Jess by Pamela Morsi.
Book you’ve bought for the cover: Most recent: The Wren in the Holly Library by K.A. Linde, Ink Blood Sister Scribe by Emma Törzs, Anathema by Keri Lake, Spark of the Everflame by Penn Cole, and Morrighan by Mary E. Pearson
Book you hid from your parents: Strangely, the Bible (which I’ve read three times), because as a Spanish Catholic, my mother wasn’t familiar with the King James Bible.
Book that changed your life: Two of them:Conversations With God by Neale Donald Walsch and Please Understand Me by David Keirsey
Favorite line from a book: “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… Until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” –Atticus Finch
