Day 4: A Wind in the Door by Madeline L’Engle. I know that the most popular book of the Time Quintet is the first (A Wrinkle in Time), but honestly this is my favorite. Names have been kind of a big deal to me all my life. I had/have a weird name. I never wanted my kids’ names to be shortened. And I have a few trans kids who struggle to get people to use the correct names. So this book that speaks to the power of naming holds a special place in my heart. If you e never read past Wrinkle, I’d urge you to check out the others. #amreading #bestbooks

Day 3: The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. There is something about a cathartic cry, and this book gives it in spades. I was skeptical about a book written from the dog’s perspective, but this is simply beautiful, from the first page to the last. Life is hard, dogs make life better. If you want to cry, this is the book for you. #amreading #bestbooks

Day 2: 11/22/63 by Stephen King. King has long been one of my favorite authors, but this book is something special. What if someone could travel back in time and stop Kennedy’s assassination? This book examines that, but so. much. more. From the opening story to the final dance, this book is magic. And if you’re an audiobook lover, this is the single most beautifully narrated book I’ve ever heard. If you avoid King because you don’t like gore or horror, don’t skip this book. It is masterful storytelling, and you do yourself (and the author) a disservice by skipping it. #amreading #bestbooks
