Finding Daddy by Louise Palmer
Finding Daddy was a book I discovered in middle school and for some reason it turned out to be my "favorite book." While I couldn't relate to it in its entirety, there was something about it that made me feel a connection with the characters. -
Dishonesty Tangles by Ruben Fematt
My dad ended up passing away in 2011 (after about 7 years of no contact with each other). Although I was young and don't remember much, I knew he had a creative calling and loved to write poems. When he passed away, my grandma, his mom, decided to publish his poems in a book. I keep this book near & dear to my heart! I'm able to connect with him through his writings and I know I get my creative passion from him! -

Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
Catcher in the Rye was one of the books I was assigned to read in a high school english class. It's one of the few books that I thouroughly enjoyed. For some reason, I can't seem to remember it all that much, but I remember I liked it! It may be time to refresh my memory. -
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
The Perks of Being a Wallflower was another book that was assigned as a reading during a high school english class and I LOVED it! We watched the movie in class and to this day it is one of my favorites. -

After Series by Anna Todd
The After series was my first fan-fiction series and I absolutely fell in love with reading all over again! Took me a while to complete the 5-book series, but I am so glad I did! -
It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover
After I finished the After series... I needed more drama in my life. Obviously, Colleen Hoover was the right call for that! -
