    My 30 Favorite Books I Read My First Year of my Thirties

    Last June I turned 30, and I shared a personal episode on the podcats about the 30-things books have taught me in my life.

Some of these books made me cry, some of them shocked me, and some gave me the spooks, but all of these books' characters, plots, and stories stuck about because they sank into my soul leaving me to feel that wild and beguile feeling of bewilderment. ---- A Secret History by Donna Tart The Art Forger by Barbara A.
