favorite books…as of 2022
Books have the ability to transport you to another place just for a moment, and if they are really good, they pull at your emotions and leave you wanting to learn more about the characters and their life. I always love a good book suggestion and wanted to share my current favorite books in various categories. The older I get the more I want to learn from reading, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue learning.
“An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.”
