Though reading is a constant pasttime of mine, something about the arrival of fall -- and it's cozy sweaters and crackling fires -- makes me even more excited to get swallowed up in a good book. Recently I've had a lot of readers asking me about what I've been reading so I decided to put together a list of some of my twenty-five favorites. With all the wonderfully written works out there, it's hard to limit myself to a mere twenty-five titles, but I somehow managed to whittle it down. To see all the books I've enjoyed or plan to read, check out Positively Present on GoodReads.
