The Shelf of Awesome

Many people have what they refer to as a “keeper shelf.” If someone asked me to put all my “keepers” on one shelf, I’d first have to search Guinness World Records for the longest shelf. While reorganizing my bookcases today, I did, however, put together a “Shelf of Awesome.” What the hell is that, you wonder? The Shelf of Awesome is a shelf of books that, in brief, inspire me. No, you won’t find...

When I switched over to this new design, I accidentally deleted all the links I had to my reading orders and favorite authors' websites. Everything should now be back up (thank goodness) and if you're looking for reading...

It's alphabetized by author's last name with...
