Books! Books! Books! The written word has been a passion of mine since childhood. I always thought of our local library as a castle. An enormous round gray stone structure with a turet, is the picture my childhood memory paints. I loved wandering through the stacks, imagining stories based on intriguing cover art. Once a book was chosen, I'd devour it! I wonder if I went back, would it still look like the magical castle I remember. I do know the reading was and still is magical. My love of reading and learning led me to become an elementary teacher with a reading specialty. Helping children develop that love of reading was so rewarding. I couldn't have chosen a more incredible career. I had always thought that after I retired, woking in a small people-friendly bookstore would be the best thing ever. And here I am at Beach Books. Talking books with customers and helping them select their next favorite read is a joy.
I enjoy all kinds of reading, but historical fiction is a favorite. A few of my recent favorites include: The Help by Kathryn Stockett, Pearl of China by Anchee Min, Little Bee by Chris Cleave, and Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford. Tana French, Geraldine Brooks, Anita Diamant, Ann Patchet, Eric Larson, Jeffery Deaver, Ivan Doig and Wallace Stegner are a few of the other authors I enjoy.
