Jill Mccorkle's Reading List

"Daniel Mason's amazing "North Woods." I always admire his writing and the great wealth of historical and scientific knowledge that he brings to the page."

""Where the Red Fern Grows," which I read so many times in sixth grade, I was told I couldn't check it out any more."

"Last summer — craving a different time and place — I revisited "Jane Eyre," "Wuthering Heights" and "Rebecca" in a back-to-back swoop. All three were even better, smarter and more suspenseful than I had remembered."
