10 Timeless Classics + 5 Modern Reads

Paperbound, Kindle or Audio book - March 2nd is Read Across America Day!

I have always loved a good book and March is a great month to revisit some favorites or start a new one that has been on the list. The whole point of a good read and beauty of an engrossing story is to let your own imagination wander a bit. If you're like me, it can be a source for inspiration. So I hope you become inspired by Read Across America Day or the thoughts of Spring Break R&R, even if such a thing doesn't exist in your plans. Here are some of my personal faves and, with the exception of #1, are listed in no particular order. Happy reading!
