My 20 Book Recommendation List

Many people who know me know that I love to read and I am often asked what book am I reading or what book would I recommend others to read. 

Right now we are living in a very stressful and uncertain time and people are coping with their stress in many ways.  Some are cooking and trying new recipes. Some are taking it easy, relaxing and resting.  Some are working more and helping out in their communities.  Some are catching up with tv shows and movies.  Then there are others that are finding a way to travel to a far-away land, meet new people, learn and discover new topics, or they're just finding a path to escape through a book.  I have seen  few people ask for book recommendations and I decided to share my list.  I already gave a small list to a friend, but I wanted to add more books and well blog here.

Which one would you read first?  If you do decide to read any of these books, please let me know your thoughts.  Also, if you have any book recommendations, please let me know.  I love to receive book recommendations. 
 
On that note, God bless you and keep on reading!
