The Five People You Meet in Heaven
By Mitch Albom
When a curmudgeonly war veteran dies and goes to heaven, he learns that there are five people you must meet before you can reach your own paradise. Each will offer him a different lesson from his life and theirs. I recommend this book to anyone who needs a thorough emotional clean out. This book doesn’t take up a lot of space on your shelf or in your day, but it will stay with you forever.

Agatha Christie’s Poirot
I want everyone to watch the David Suchet performance as famous detective Hercule Poirot. If you love whodunnits, you can’t miss this one. There are 70 episodes’ worth of goodness for you to come back to whenever you wish.
