I was asked to share my top holiday movies (Christmas movies to be specific), and agree or disagree with my so-called definitive list, it’s all good, but regardless, we’re all officially here—fully in the holiday spirit!

Oh, this was super tough to narrow down, so I went with this mix of some old and some new books – no particular order, just great reads. Enjoy!

As a child, I transported myself into the world of books! Here are my favorites, ranging from fiction to factual.

I love to read. I read to escape into another world, another era, another journey. Most of what I read is historical fiction and medieval-type fantasy as I am continuously fascinated by how we used to live and mystical alternate realities.
