I’ve actually known this for some time now since she’s my future wife and all, but now I know WHAT she likes reading too. These seven books are among her favorites. And will likely become some of mine.
The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillipa Gregory.
Those books following Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy.
Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters by J.D. Salinger.
The Rum Diary by Hunter S. Thompson.
We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver.
The Glass Castle by Jeanette Wells.
Looks like I got some reading to do. I haven’t read anything on here except for the first two HP books. But after a long day on set I’m sure she’ll sometimes just want to read one of these and then ask me what I think of them. But I won’t know until I read them.
Have any thoughts on Jen’s (yes, I call her Jen) favorite books?
On this day in 2014 I published What Moves Your Characters?.

There’s a stack there that I want to read as well. I’ve only been able to read the Harry Potter books. But I am thinking that I might make time to do that soon.

Yes. Do it.

I’m impressed she read We Need to Talk About Kevin. It is dense, sophisticated, and possibly one of the saddest and scariest books I’ve read. And I’ve read a lot of sad, scary, books.

Good work, Gerard. Saved the day. And embarrassed the lesser of the two Johns.
