Title: Saturday
Author: Ian McEwan
Publisher: Anchor
“This book didn’t see daylight in 2013 but for all my unknown writer friends this reading experience is shattering, profound, intellectual, a narrative masterpiece that balances what seems like unattainable happiness with visceral violence.”
Heather Allen
Title: Life After Life
Author: Kate Atkinson
Publisher: Reagan Arthur Books
“It’s a historical fiction novel set in England during the early 1900’s through WWII about a woman who dies and comes back to life many times (hence Life After Life). The book was such an emotional roller coaster, but I enjoyed it because it gave me a chance to examine how tiny decisions can make a big impact on one’s life.”

Title: The Three “Only” Things: Tapping the power of dreams, coincidence & Imagination
Author: Robert Moss
Publisher: New World Library
“I’d say The Three “Only” Things: Tapping the power of dreams, coincidence & Imagination was one of my favorites. It’s by Robert Moss and he does an excellent job weaving inspiration with practical exercises and interesting science in how writers can harness the rich content of dreams.”
