For One More Day by Mitch Albom

This is another easy read. It is also a short book so it should not take too long to finish. I had a great time reading this book. It tells a very compelling story. It shows you how a different perspective can give you a different outlook. The book tells a story of a man, Chick, who has an opportunity to spend One More Day with his mother. While reading this book I found myself captured in the story and realizing the lessons Chick was learning in his experience. There is some language in this book, but nothing that made me too uncomfortable. I have also read Tuesdays with Morie. After reading Tuesdays with Morie, I decided that Mitch Albom is one of my favorite authors.

Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling

I was hesitant to begin reading the Harry Potter books. I bought the first book but it took me a while to start reading it. I did not begin reading the books until sometime between books four and five. Once I started reading them, I became hooked! They are enjoyable books for all ages, however, due to some of the situations Harry finds himself in as he begins to grow older within the series, I recommend the books for individuals ten years old or older. If younger children read the books, I recommend a parent reads the books as well so they know what their children are reading. The books are full of good versus evil and Harry encounters some really mean and evil individuals.  The "evil" situations are not too disturbing to read, due to the fact I love the books!  It is all about your definition of what is evil.  Just remember all of the other good versus evil stories there are out there. . . the Star Wars Saga, to name one.  Of course, these books are strictly fantasy which allows children to learn about situations that occur in the real world without having to point a finger and a real person or situation in the real world.  J.K. Rowling does an awesome job keeping the readers engaged!

Letters for Emily by Camron Wright

This was a very delightful book to read. It was not only enjoyable, but very esay to read. While reading the book I found a deeper message that increased my desire to finish the book. Reading the synopsis on the back of the book, you learn that the book is about a man, Harry, who has Alzheimer's disease and he complies a book of poems for his granddaughter. While reading the book, enjoying the poems, and learning about the characters in the novel, I began to see the real message Harry was leaving for his children.  There is a sense of mystery in this book and I enjoyed trying to figure out the puzzle.  I definitely recommend this book!
