And The Winner is! Da da, da daaaa.....

Here is my list of 24 books that I read in 2015! Number one, I read first and number 25, I read last. The other books are not in any particular order. I kept my list on my NOOK HD Reader and they sort of got scrambled around through the year.  This year, I will write them all down in order.

I am only two books in so far, and it is getting close to the fourth week. Wow! pretty soon January will be over.  I have to get on my grind with reading and editing my debut book coming soon: Bingo Baby! "Beginner's Luck."

I hope you find my list interesting:

1.      If I Stay,   Gayle Forman

2.     100 Days of Right Believing,   Joel Osteen

3-6. Shopping for a Billionaire 1-4   Julia Kent

7.     The Kite Runner,    Khaled Hossieini

8.     Truth Stained Lies,   Terri Blackstock

9.     5 Love Languages,    Gary Chapman, M.D.

10.   Success Through Stillness,   Russell Simmons

11.   Destiny,   T.D. Jakes

12.   Gone Girl,   Gillian Flynn

13.   The Gingerbread Man,   Maggie Shayne

14.   The Covering,   Dana Portola

15.    Outliers,   Malcolm Gladwell

16.    Irresistible Forces,   Brenda Jackson

17.    Naked in Death,   J.D Robb

18.    How to Win,  Mark Cuban

19.    Through the Storm,   Vanessa Miller

20.    Deep in the Heart,  Staci Stallings

21.    To Kill a Mockingbird,   Harper Lee 

22.    When Sorry Isn't Enough,   Gary Chapman, M.D.

23.    The Girl on the Train,  Paula Hawkins 

24.    Instinct,  T.D. Jakes

Here are the 5 books I liked the best:

Outliers, Gladwell is awesome the way he gains statistics and makes them real to readers. 

The Kite Runner, absolutely beautiful and engaging. I thought I was in Afghanistan!

Girl On the Train, Four words...That girl was crazy!! But redeemed herself in the end. 

Success Through Stillness, I just love Simmons outlook on life and health.

Instinct, Thank you, Pastor...I must re-read.

So, there you have them. It was hard putting them in order from greatest to least. They are all awesome authors and books!

What do you think about my list and my personal favs??

Happy 2016!

First, I want to wish everyone a great year ahead. I pray all of your dreams and adventures are filled with love warmth and new learning experiences.

It has been a while. I am still here with you all! Let's do this! Well, at least I am telling myself that. Some of you are well ahead of the game of authorship....and that is good thing. Keep writing and forging on. Don't let anything stop you. Satisfy your appetite to write something great, or to just get something off of your chest.

That's sort of what I'm doing now. I started this journey in the middle...yards away from wince self publishing started. I'm still looking around trying to learn the rules. How do I get a book out there in cyber space, the clouds, in readers hands?

Just write! That's it! Plain and simple. There is no special system to follow, each person will have their own solution. If you already have something in place that works for you; keep up the good work(s). As for me, I have yet to find my rhythm. And I do realize the only way to get into a rhythm, is to keep writing about anything I desire. I can do this! Some pep talk, yuh? I have decided to keep my head tucked and write as much as I can...This blog helps.

Good luck and Happy New Year my friends.
