I grew up in a household that loves to read. We get two different newspapers a day, we have more books than space at our house and my mom likes to talk about how when I was a baby my dad would wake me up when he woke up at 6 and we would read while eating our oatmeal together. All my board books had oatmeal smeared in them. All of this is to say that I have read a lot in my lifetime. I did not however read non-fiction that often. So I'm going to use a fiction author instead.

Two books (aside from Harry Potter because that is just to cliche) that I can read over and over are The Secret Life Of Bees and Prep.

The Secret Life Of Bees is by Sue Monk Kidd, she has a way of writing vividly and creating characters so that you can picture it. But she doesnt include to many details that you feel like you are drowning or losing plot in the wash.


Prep is by Elizabeth Curtis Sittenfeld. Like Sue Monk Kidd she involves details. But my favorite part of her writing is that she can get into the head of a high school girl. It is very accurate and covers a long amount of time without any boring parts.
