So angry/jealous/inspired...

I suppose I should begin this post with the obligatory, “It’s been a while…”

Anyway.

I just finished reading S.A. Cosby’s “All The Sinners Bleed” and I have to say that every chapter featured one or two lines, ideas, or twists that drove me absolutely mad. The good stuff that made me twist in my chair and grind my teeth wishing I’d written that! I realized that every now and again, a story just grabs the reader by the heart and throws them around the room. So here’s an inexhaustive list of books that have done that for me!
