On My Bookshelf

One of my favorite books, miniseries, and films.

I fell in love with Lestat in high school.

I received this book from my mom as a kid and loved every minute of reading it. I also enjoyed the PBS series of Anne of Green Gables.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who struggles with completing projects and goals. It changed the way I approach and finish projects.

I had the honor of interviewing Julian when I was with Examiner.com. One of the best interviews I've had with an artist.

The Count of Monte Cristo is a favorite character of mine. I also loved Jim Caviezel's interpretation of him in the movie.

I fell in love with Kate Chopin's writing in my 30s. She broke many boundaries for female writers and her work is superb.

If you're a writer, this is a vital tool to have on hand.

I first read this novel in my 30s and was impressed with Hurston's ability to use language and immerse me in a world.

I found this at a thrift store many years ago and was intrigued by the concept of going to all these places. Someday.

Shelley is the original sci-fi horror female writer. Ya can't go wrong with some good old fashioned scientific madness.

McMillan writes an excellent tale of a woman's return to not just her former self but a better self.

Hands down the best depiction of a legacy of love in a relationship. This is both a favorite book and movie.

Excellent resource for writing screenplays.

Excellent resource on screenriting.

Hands down a vital book for all couples to read.

I stumbled on these at a library book sale a few years ago, and since The Argument Clinic is a favorite of mine, I knew I needed to have them.

This was required reading for a class I took on poetry. The techniques in it are awesome. The author's idea of who can learn poetry, not so much. Once you get past his elitism, there's a lot of great techniques.

Bodybuilding fascinates me. I remember watching Mr. Universe competitions on ESPN in high school. The dedication and work involved to get to that level is inspirational.

Toni Morrison's story about a friendship between two women is worth every word on the page.

I took a Harlem Renassaince class and got to explore a lot of amazing African American fiction. Conjure Man Dies is one of them.

Can't go wrong with Chekov, who was a brilliant writer.

I love and hate Beowulf. I think there are parts of the story that work really well and others not so well.

This is a book I have saved on my self for a few years.

There was a time as a writer and artist that I bawked at technique, and now I appreciate it. This is an excellent book for those interested in poetry writing.

Excellent book for poets to read.

I studied under Claudia Johnson at SNHU and enjoyed everything I learned. This is a great resource for those learning to write screenplays.
