Instilled by my book-loving mother and cultivated by my wonderful teachers, one of the greatest passions of my life since childhood has been reading. Every night before bed, no matter how busy or how late, I read for about an hour. In the spirit of end of the year roundups and book reviews which I love to peruse, I wanted to share my 2013 and 2014 reading lists that I tackled throughout my campaign. Youll find a compilation of escapist and historical fiction, fun-loving memoirs, books written by friends, dense biographies, and a smattering of classics: Send me your recommendations for 2015! 2013: Moonwalking with Einstein, Joshua Foer Rules of Civility, Amor Towles What It Takes, Richard Ben Cramer Bossypants, Tina Fey Unintimidated, Scott Walker Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand Salinger, David Shields and Shane Salerno David and Goliath, Malcolm Gladwell Oprah, Kitty Kelley Back to Blood, Tom Wolfe Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead, Sheryl Sandberg Sweet Tooth, Ian McEwan Life of Pi, Yann Martel The Woman Upstairs, Claire Messud Wolf Hall, Hilary Mantel Seating Arrangements, Maggie Shipstead The Victory Lab, Sasha Issenberg Lessons from Madame Chic, Jennifer Scott Dance in Saratoga Springs, Denise Warner Limoli Paris My Sweet, Amy Thomas The Casual Vacancy, J.K.
