“One of my all-time favorite books with a love theme isTHE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN(Hyperion) byMitch Albom. This particular title popped into my mind when I read the email for this month’s question because of Eddie’s undying love for his wife even in death. When she appears to him in heaven as her younger, healthy self, he tells her that he loved her even when she was older and sick. I just thought that was beautiful. Other titles that came in second and third place arePEACE FROM BROKEN PIECESbyIyanla VanzantandI KNOW THIS MUCH IS TRUEbyWally Lamb.”

“My all-time favorite book with a love theme would beCODE NAME VERITY(Egmont Press)byElizabeth Wein. It’s a story of two best friends, Maddie and Queenie, during World War II. One is a spy and the other is a pilot. The book is in two parts and each part is told from the view of each character. We find out how they met and how they became best friends; not just BFFs but true best friends who can read each others minds with a single look. It’s the kind of friendship that everyone wants but has a hard time finding. Then one friend has to make the ultimate sacrifice. This book made me laugh and cry and it also made me call my best friend as soon as I finished reading the last page.”
