As any author knows, writing and reading go hand in hand. 

​I consider myself a hard reader to please by all accounts, and that's something I take with pride. But every now and then, there are books that blow me away from start to finish.  I tend to know as soon as I open the page what a book will make me say or feel, and so I wanted to share them with you like I do my Instagram followers.
