Top Five Reads of 2011

I'm a little late with my list, but here are my top five reads of 2011.

Love Amid the Ashes

I put off reading this one for a while, I thought it would be too depressing. It ended up being a very interesting and hopeful read.

Choosing to See:

A powerful, inspiring read.

The Help:

I waited to watch the movie until after I read the book. I'm so glad I did. The book is so beautifully written and it made the movie that much more interesting.

Southern Fried Sushi

Of course the cover pulled me in on this one. Such a fun journey from Japan to Virginia.

All The is Bitter and Sweet:

When All That is Bitter and Sweet was released earlier this year, there was a lot of the buzz concerning the abuse Ashley suffered as a child, but that is just a small part of the book. It is a deeply moving book.
