#3 “The Lucky One”
by Nicholas Sparks
Imagine seeing a picture of a person and knowing that they held the key to your destiny and your future….even though the two of you have never met. In this romantic tale, one man goes through a perilous journey to find the woman of his dreams; the woman who’s picture he carries as a good luck charm. A true romantic novel, Nicholas Sparks shows us that romance is more than just a mere dream. For those who love the romance novels, this book will definitely not disappoint.
#2 “The Secret”
by Rhonda Byrne
If you have heard and live by the old sayings “I think, therefore I am” or the power of positive thinking, then this book is definitely for you. Ms. Byrne will challenge the way you think by introducing you to others, well-known in our world, who have been proponents of The Secret. Once you start reading this book, you can’t help but feel and think differently about the world around you. This is one that I make sure to pack before anything else when I travel.

#1 “Phantoms”

If a good thriller is what you’re looking for, this is it. Dean Koontz will draw you in, have you on the edge of your seat, and keep you terrified and amused at the same time. His expert writing makes this a wonderful addition to anyone’s reading list. It will make you wonder about the unknown as the even-paced, exquisitely written book keeps you bound to the characters.
