The Dark Tower series by Stephen King

“For world building and sheer readability, I love Stephen King’s Dark Tower series.”

Game of Thrones series by George R.R. Martin

George R.R. Martin’s highly-acclaimed series takes readers to the world of Westeros as they follow along on the adventures of powerful houses who are all competing to take hold of the Iron Throne.

Almost Paradise and Shining Through by Susan Isaacs

“For great, relatable heroines I turn to anything Susan Isaacs has written. Especially Almost Paradise and Shining Through.”

Almost Paradise is a story about an unlikely couple who have to stand up for their love despite the adversity and disapproval they come up against. In Shining Through, Linda Voss can’t hide the fact that she’s in love with her boss.

A Prayer for Owen Meaney by John Irving

“For literary inspiration, I love John Irving’s A Prayer for Owen Meaney.“

Crazy Salad and Scribble Scribble: Some Things About Women and Notes on the Media by Nora Ephron

“For writing with bite and wit and voice, I love Nora Ephron’s Crazy Salad and Scribble Scribble.“

Nora Ephron’s essay collection covers topics from feminism to beauty products and everything in between. This collection is both hilarious and empowering and it’s no wonder Jennifer loves it.

Metropolitan Life by Fran Lebowitz

Another book Jennifer says provides her great bite, wit and voice.

Metropolitan Life is a witty and charming book that comments on the world as we know it today. With a tremendous sense of self, this book is one readers have loved for decades.
