January 9, 2016: Today I am launching a new column: Lori’s Library Party (The LLP). I will write a short recommendation of one book every Friday. I read a lot of books, and I listen to even more on audio CDs as I drive back and forth across the Golden Gate Bridge to my new life in Marin. When I read a book that I love – I want to share it with others. Ever since I read my first Judy Blume book, stories and books have made sense of the world for me. Be forewarned: I read a lot of autobiographies, biographies and books about celebrities and athletes. I love books about addiction, depression and people who struggle to overcome an obstacle. I thought this would be something new to add to Fridays, when Facebook and Instagram can be slow. To make things easier, you can also click a link at the bottom of each book review to purchase the book on Amazon through my affiliate account.
