As an author, I am often asked about what books I am currently reading. People that I know often look to me for book recommendations or for insight into what writers are influencing me. I’ve decided to put out my book recommendations on a regular basis. I hope that you will enjoy these recommendations and give these authors a try. It’s nice to promote other books for a change so I hope that you will take these earnest recommendations into consideration. You can always see what I am currently reading or my most recent ratings on Goodreads as well.

Since this is my first recommendation post I will be giving a retrospective of my favorite reads in 2017:
