Book List

When I Was Elena: One of the most fascinating books I've read in a long time! Very good writing, and beautifully arranged.
Beneath A Marble Sky: My friend from high-school wrote this! It's amazing!
The Eighth Promise - William Poy Lee: This was a beautifully written book, a memoir of a man and his mother. I couldn't put it down, and have a better understanding of both the Toisanese culture and the San Francisco China Town culture!
Measure of a Man - Sidney Poitier: A friend gave me this book and I was excited to write it. Some of the stories Sidney writes about his childhood are interesting. Overall though, this book wasn't what I expected. The writing wasn't great, and the story and message were a bit confusing.
One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd: A Novel: This was a great book, and fantastic story of a stronger than strong woman!
Anti-Bride Guide Wedding Planner: I was interviewed for this book and they included some of my "expert information" about booking musicians for weddings and parties.
The Complete Guide to House Concerts: I was interviewed for this book and am included in a chapter about starting non-profit concert series.
The Poisonwood Bible: My favorite book by Barbara Kingsolver!
The True and Outstanding Adventures of the Hunt Sisters- Elisabeth Robinson: This was written well, and the story so heart-warming and funny!
Ellen Foster by Kaye Gibbons: A fantastic book. I loved the language and the stark story! She has a new book out, and I can't wait to read it!
Kite Runner- Khaled Hosseini: This book was so intense, I loved every page. The story so complicated, yet so intriguing.
Natasha: And Other Stories - David Bezmozgis: A book of interesting and quirky short stories. The one called "Natasha" is a little off, but in all, a good read.
Stone Garden - Molly Moynahan: I wanted this one to be better than it was. The story had the making for an interesting read, but the writing wasn't up to par.
Brother Ray: Ray Charles' Own Story - David Ritz: I loved this book! Ray was pretty wild, and had no apologies for his actions. His voice was really heard in this book. More so than in the movie "Ray".
Broken Music: A Memoir - Sting: I loved hearing Sting's story through his own words. Well written!
Their Eyes Were Watching God - Zora Neale Hurston: The language and the written dialect is so beautiful, as well the story.
The Birth of Venus - Sarah Dunant: What a great story! Great writing!
The Professional Musician's Legal Companion: Written by Michael Aczon, a great person and industry expert in Berkeley, CA!
