Shen Dove Style | Winter Reading List

January is the perfect time to pick out and purchase books to read for the year so, I’m giving away two $25 Barnes & Noble or Amazon gift cards (the winners can take their pick)!  To enter, leave a comment below with the title of a book you plan to read this year.  Good luck! Note: This giveaway closes on Sunday, January 26th at midnight EST and is for U.S. Residents.

So for the remainder of the winter, I have four books on my to-read list.

  • Claire of the Sea Light – I found Edwidge Dandicat’s past books, quite compelling, so I’ve added her most recent novel to my list.
  • Financially Fearless – Learn Vest is one of my favorite sites for personal financial advice, so I thought this would be a good read to check out for inspiration.
  • Where’d You Go Bernadette – I’ve heard good things about this book from the blogosphere, so I’ve already picked up a copy from the library to read.
  • Adé –  I saw this book (written by Alice Walker’s daughter) recommended on Twitter earlier this month, so I decided to give it a try.

 Let’s read some great books in 2014!
